I hate this for Bill Clark, he is one of my former HS lineman. There has been a lot of talk down here about this. People really upset with Bryant Jr. it seems that he is leading the charge for this to happen.

 

That's crazy but the first I have heard of it.

 

Bryant Jr is a total scum of earth.

 

I wonder if a lot of the smaller schools will not be able to afford football much longer? UAB is no slouch school, and they play a lot of the big boys. Hard to believe they are not making enough money that they will have to shut it down.

 

I could certainly be wrong, but I don't think that's necessarily the main factor here.

 

UAT likes to remind everyone who's in charge.

 

Paul Bryant Jr. is on the BOT. UAB is in the Alabama system and they don't want to have to take anything away from the Mothership.

 

Wonder if they have any experienced O-linemen worth anything.

 

What the hell does UAB have that Bama could possibly want? The article was a little vague.

 

As part of the U of A system, they don't want UAB to get anything that could hurt the Capstone. UAB wanted to hire Jimbo Fisher and the BOT nixed the deal because they were afraid that HE could possibly steal recruits from bama. You can't make this stuff up.

 

That was my first thought.

 

UAB just fired their AD

 

Damn.

 

Mine too

 

I read an article that says the contract for the UT-UAB game says that if UAB backs out of the game (for this particular reason), then they will have to pay UT the $925K that they were gonna receive to play UT.....almost a 2 million dollar swing....ouch

 

UAB is the least of Alabama football's concerns.

 

does that come from bama?

 

Yes to a point since UAB is part of the University system.

 

More importantly, who are we going to play?

 

Maryville college available? I want the pansiest team available that will still count towards a valid win.
