It's about Bryant Jr writing blank checks to build facilities at Tuscaloosa...now the chickens are coming home to roost and the Bama BOT wants to fundamentally change UAB as a university to force Birmingham undergrads to Tuscaloosa.

There are a few teams on their schedule I wouldn't mind seeing us pick up for our schedule... We already have Tennessee, but adding Kentucky wouldn't be a bad idea... or playing agains Troy.... Georgia State is cupcake city, but they're still at FBS level so they count....

Most recent basketball recruitments makes this an intriguing idea.
