UAB officially reinstates football program
- Thread starter Boston.Knight
- Start date
Total waste, will take them 3 to 5 years to get back to where they were. All the excitement an $$ will be worn off by then.
All their decent players have gone elsewhere haven't they? Sounds like they will be cellar dwellers for awhile.
My understanding is they still have about 30 players on campus. How many of those graduate before 2016, I don't know. Seems to me they need to be getting a few kids now 2015 class, who can redshirt this year, who liklely are borderline type players just for #s reasons. Then apply with NCAA for a waiver for 2016 on #s.
Even if they make this work, I am not sure all these donors/fans will hang around with really bad teams for 4 or 5 years.

They should've let it die. They're terrible in football and no one watches their terrible games. I remember being embarrassed while watching us play them on tv at legion field. There were more people on the sidelines than in the stands totally.
Apparently they were up to 20,000 in attendance (most likely announced and not actual) so something was there. But 6-6 record is nothing to get excited about either.
