Ruston metro + Shreveport metro + Monroe metro = 685K
Birmingham consolidated metro = 1,313K (1.31MM)
A 30 minute driving radius from Legion Field has nearly double the COMBINED population of every La. parish along I-20.

Who is Timmy B.?
It's time to close the doors to the Temple of Janus.
Never mind. I figured it out.

Looks like it's bring back football or hit the road

Ray Watts really screwed that school (UAB) over. I guarantee you he never considered the fact that CUSA could kick UAB out of the conference when he made the stupid decision to drop football. What a dumbass. He never saw it coming.
Unless you are in the camp that thinks he KNEW EXACTLY what he was doing...Originally Posted by HogDawg
Personally I think Paul Bryant Jr. wants to kill the entire UAB athletic program, they will probably end up in the SBC or ASun
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Exactly. UAB's "decision maker" puppets are neither dumb nor ignorant. They know exactly what they are doing. I will be shocked if they end up anywhere other than the A-Sun. I only see Benson taking in UAB if C-USA invites South Alabama. The MVC rumors don't make any sense from the MVC perspective.
I say UAB joins the Sunbelt and never looks back. Ironically, the Sunbelt will end up getting one of our prized basketball programs.
Trading UAB for South Alabama is a losing deal for CUSA, but it would beat trading them for ULL.
I don't know if they can keep up their recruiting in the belt, so they won't be that "prized" for too long.....
He'd have to be a complete fool to have counted on CUSA letting them stick around. Surely he knew what would happen, and that it would cost them even more money.
But that information was (purposely, you'd have to think) very much not a part of the initial (anti-football) consultant's report. Whether Watts knew or not, the cost of dropping football was not factored in their justification for dropping it to begin with (at least, the public justification). They just left that part out of the equation from what I understand (having not read the report myself).
So shady. Not including the cost of changing conferences (to one that pays less in conference payouts) is right there with acting like 85 football scholarships were being paid with real money instead of just "in-kind" for the most part. The thing that makes me question Watts's intelligence is the fact that they seemingly thought everyone would buy this crap at face value. Has he not heard of the internet? This might have worked 20 years ago, but not now.
He is one of the top paid president's in all of the nation for a reason...
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Does anything matter there other than their grad school programs?
ESPN said the UAB football program actually made money. UAB supporters have raised $6 million to restart the football program. These issues will weigh heavily when CUSA is trying to determine whether or not to oust UAB.
It's simple. If UAB commits to bring football back they are in. If they can't commit to it they are out. C-USA presidents can't decide in/out on what they think UAB might do.
Oh btw, they are out for now. The decision is not to "oust " rather to allow them more time.
