Signing day was exciting, but UAB has work to do with their future schedules.
Fans and alumni of the Blazers program this last week were excited as hell when the first National Signing Day of the resurrected program came to fruition before a national streaming audience. A class of 39 players, including many early enrollees and transfers, will make up the first class of UAB Blazers when the program resumes playing in 2017.
But here's the thing: most FBS programs have their non-conference schedules determined well into the 2020's. UAB not only has no football in 2016 but they also only have a 2017 futures schedule.
