Basically gave themselves the DEATH PENATLY and they didn't do anything wrong...

Even for the season ticket deposits program that was instituted to show support to bring back football?

?

How is the football ticket drive going?

Last update I heard was around 4,300

Georgia State or South Alabama

Haase must not be to keen on #FREEUAB or #FIRERAYWATTS

I find it very interesting that Haase just got a bump to $1,000,000 per year for six years at UAB...

Seems to me that they are already spending that football budget, which leads everyone to think...

I stand corrected...

But I still think the Board pulls a Pontus Pilot and basically washes their hands of the matter by giving them a year for 2015-2016 to get football back

Jon Solomon is one to watch - he is very close to the situation and has the best factual information...

Mark's comments basically verified the procedures/options to be followed

Quoting Mark and Jon Solomon from Brando's show...

There are three choices that can be made via CUSA -

1) Nothing - UAB is gone effective 6/30/2015

2) Vote to amend by-laws - it will take 11 votes (if UAB is allowed to vote) or 10 votes (if UAB...

Remember it will take a VOTE of the CUSA members to KEEP UAB within the conference past June 30, 2015

As per the by-laws, if CUSA takes no action, they are out effective of that date due to...

FWIW Jon Solomon with CBSSports.com just said on Brando's show that he doesn't expect UAB to bring back football and expects them to be a lame duck member of CUSA for the 2015/16 sports year and then...

I know the backstory -

My point is I cannot believe that Watts was able to carry it out without others at UAB knowing something was coming down the pipe...

And I think they will be uncovered in...

Yep -

And it's fixing to get VERY ugly for ALL parties involved, including UAB when they start opening up the financials of the athletic department and the TRUE dollars being lost by the programs...

I think the knowledgeable UAB fans KNOW this is bad news for them restarting the program...

It makes it look much worse than just the BOT making a decision in November to shut the programs down,...

I know that the sheen of BB has worn off quickly with our administration and several of the other schools' admins

Unlike you, I expect this to be the case - that sometime in late August or Early...

Correct..

I would not be surprised if they already have a landing place ready for UAB...

I think this opens a whole new can of worms between UAB, CUSA and the remaining CUSA presidents/schools -

Since it appears the decision was actually made as early as August of 2014 - almost a good...

They are having a season ticket deposit drive...

They have less than 3,000 deposits for tickets so far-

The deposit is only $25

I don't think their "fans" want it that much...

It's time...

Word on the street here is that they feel they will be given 1 year to bring football back, June 30, 2016 and if they don't they are gone.

Supposedly have already made overtures for the Missouri...

I actually think we should kick FIU out of the conference -

No radio broadcast team for basketball

I think they are gone, unless they can present a plan to have football in place within 24 months...
