I guess we're a setback lol.

I'm pretty sure getting suspended by Notre Dame to go to a JUCO was the setback. Playing at UAB is the comeback.

FIFY

However, Notre Dame might have a more elaborate tutoring program than we do. The "hard" schools tend to take extra special care of - i.e., baby - their football players so they can stay eligible.

I didnt even know Florida had a junior college football team

Now they have a miami campus.

They are accredited.

2017 is the comeback date. 2016 is a mistake in that quoted article.

I would assume if UAB is ready to play and their program is financially sound, they will be good to go. I would think Cusa would want to keep UAB for its basketball program if nothing else.

Oh I didn't realize that was the issue being addressed. I think we've met all the benchmarks necessary to remain a full C-USA member.

I also didn't think this was still being debated. I thought that since the decision to bring football back in 2017 was made, UAB was "all clear" with respect to any threats of ejection from CUSA.

It's a non issue. CUSA can not afford to lose UAB. Never going to happen.

Bill The Builder just keeps on building!

When was the last time we had so many 4/5 star players actually committed rather just offered??? Me likey

I'm so proud to be a Blazer today.

Clark is killing. Let's keep it positive for Bill. This is his request to all of us. Keep it positive on social media.

Is this board considered social media as well? If so, I agree - keep it positive. Stop bashing Ingram.

Get a room.
