Nicolas Lewis over at Underdog Dynasty has been relentless in his examination of UAB's decision to terminate football. His work has been thorough, painstaking, and vetted using public sources and personal interviews (Seriously, check out the StoryStream he has compiled.) To be honest, his coverage has been refreshing, in that most of the #takes we hear from UAB students and fans (and allegedly "justice-minded" outsiders) are simple-minded #FreeUAB mantras, as though slapping on a Blaze bumper sticker and invoking that phrase were anything other than a glib understanding of the issues at play here.
