UAB's average attendance this year, one of their better years in a while, was around 22,000 FWIW.

I read all the comments; very interesting. Some say butts in seats was around 10K.

Now would be the time to take the Valley to 12 should this happen. UAB along with Belmont to balance geography and public/private (which we unfortunately have to resign ourselves to in this league).

Easier said than done, obviously.

Sounds like a school president that is looking for a scapegoat and taking it out on the football team. Hasn't he learned anything? Without football, it's almost impossible to get into a "BCS" conference

I hear Nebraska is looking for a coach.
