Only because UAT forced shitty hires, blocked them from hiring good coaches, blocked them getting out of legion field, etc.
UATs BOT and Bryant Jr actively working hard to frick Uab for 23 years is sad. You are right about that.
the ability for people to ignore this fact pisses me off almost as bad as the drain on the UA system fund fallacy. these idiots dont realiz they are talking this shite about an institution directly responsible for 30% of the state GDP! let that fact sink in. they contribute roughly 70% of that fund matt says they are a drain on. its absolutely moronic. $4.6 billion total economic impact with $302.2 million generated state tax dollars annually.

waiting for the economic masterminds who are 3 months late on their trailer payment to retort with such hard facts as "but Bama is the king cash cow" in 3...2....1...

Same here.
It is sorta like if the state legislature had said Bama can't hire Saban in 2007 and must hire Joe Kines and go back to playing at legion field for the next decade.
Would have a big economic impact on Bama football and doubt they would sell out legion field in its current state.
Sorta what the did tp Uab.

You do realize that UAB is an extension of THE University of Alabama? You do realize the medical and dental schools were a part of THE University of Alabama (all diplomas said that including my family members' medical diplomas) until UAB slapped their logo on it.
I agree free UAB. They can be the University of Birmingham or what ever. However we (University of Alabama Alumni and students) want OUR medical and dental schools back.
You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Just mad.
Where is AUM's football team?

not really sure what you think this report has to do with what happens with uab football. this is an overall report of the economic impact to the state by uab. it includes tax revenues and employment impact of the uab activity, a vast majority of which is completely separate from any funding available for things like athletics (economic impact of the hospital system and the massive federal research grant activity that goes on at uab medical). This reports speaks nothing about what aub contributes to the university of alabama system or what funds it supplies to its own athletic department. Also, your comments seem to imply that you think Alabama is somehow taking the uab football money away and using it for its own purposes, when that funding is staying at uab to go to other things. As far as i know nobody involved (uab president, anyone with the bot) is saying that uab cant afford the football program, but rather that the football program does not really generate enough value (even if its just student experience value) to justify keeping it going. dont really see how that is anybodies business except uabs. i find your apparent passion over the situation to be laughably disingenuous.
