It’s crazy to think that the UAB football program didn’t exist two years ago.
The program - along with the bowling and rifle programs - was shut down prior to the 2015 season based off of claims that the university couldn’t afford to keep the program(s) afloat due to increasing costs. That didn’t last long, however, as public outcry and $27 million in independent fundraising brought the program back to life.
