The on-again, off-again saga in Southside Birmingham has a new chapter.
According to multiple reports, UAB is expected to retain its football program this season. In essence, the Blazers gave themselves a self-imposed death penalty for the past six months: an entire recruiting season is lost, facilities are still abyssal, next year's recruiting has been hamstrung by lack of contact and institutional security -- and on and on it goes.
There is literally no idea as to what benchmarks for success, attendance, and W-Ls the Blazers will have or must have, or whether the team will be anything other than the money pit it has been for a decade-and-a-half.
