One of the truly sad situations in CFB last year was the shutting down of the Alabama-Birmingham football program, just when it was turning a corner into respectability...in fact, it qualified for a bowl game last fall, except that when the Alabama State Board of Education mandated that it shut down after the 2014 season, no bowl game would take them.
Now, the UAB boosters program has raised six million dollars to reinstate the program.
The Board of Ed has not responded to this motion. The unspoken assumption is that the state board was worried that the program would overshadow the Crimson Tide at 'Bama.
Waah.
