John Talty ?@JTalty 17m17 minutes ago A big one from @Kevinscarbinsky: Documents suggest #UAB decided to kill football before the 2014 season began LINK
The documents show that public relations firm Sard Verbinnen & Co. prepared detailed plans for UAB to announce last September that it would eliminate the three programs, months before the school made the actual announcement.
The documents also show the school pushed back the announcement date until the conclusion of the football team's regular season on the advice of both Sard Verbinnen and CarrSports.
The documents indicate that Watts misled his student-athletes, coaches, supporters, faculty members and others on at least three separate occasions in November and December when he said the decision to kill the three sports wasn't made until November.

Is this because UAB Football has had zero support and has been pissing money away well before 2014?

A lot of schools need to examine whether they want to, or even can, compete in what is becoming a de facto NFL semi-pro system.

Good Lord what did you think it was, a last second seat of the pants decision? This is not a surprise at all.

The crux is that Watts and Crew swore that no final decisions were made until the final announcement in December however, according to Scarbinsky it was a lie
