Don't get me wrong, I'm 100% FOR UAB having football, but let's be real here. After the first couple of feel-good-rah-rah weeks things will be back to exactly the way they were before.

Okay, you guys got me. I am terrified of UAB. I didn't even get to finish my semen and oils velvet portrait of Paul Bryant Jr. and the traitor Ray Watts.

The only thing that will change UAB football will be a new on-campus stadium, which might happen if the reported amount of money they have raised in the past few months is legit. Legion Field will always be a dump because it's operated by the Birmingham City Council.

The new UAB football team will essentially be considered a completely new program and not a continuation of the existing program.

I'd forgotten that UAB was bowl eligible last year but didn't get to go to one, maybe partially because of killing the program. They might not have anyway since someone was getting left out but that sucks.

Reminder that the only reason UAB wasn't 100% funded all along was that the BoT literally wouldn't accept money from donors because they intended to kill the program for decades

This was all just a clever ruse for UAB to get out of playing UT the first game of the season.

So did UAB already get kicked out of the CUSA or whatever conference they were in, or did they hold off on that? I remember hearing they couldn't stay without football.

So how is UAB coming back gonna work in a practical sense? Didn't they dismiss the coaching staff and haven't a bunch of the players transferred?

C-USA is better than at least 3 of the other group of five conferences in almost every regard.  and better than every conference period when it comes to winning bowl games

I was under the impression they might get a year in FCS so they can recruit, develop, and not have to face FBS squads entirely with walk-ons.

Watch Alabama force them to play FBS with walk-ons, drop out of CUSA, and play an independent schedule of 12 SEC teams
