In what possible way it in the best interest of UAB? I'd really like to hear your reasoning here
The best thing possible would to somehow become independent of the UA system, become "The University of Birmingham" and focus on becoming a basketball powerhouse like Memphis, Wichita State, Creighton, etc. But that is not going to happen, so the next best thing is to drop football and devote those resources to making UAB the best it can be in sports where it can actually compete like basketball, baseball, softball, etc.

This I agree with.
Dropping the football program, I do not. The exposure that schools get from a D-1 football program is priceless. Very few football programs actually make money, and the money that they do spend is worth it in the long run.
UAB is about to be kicked out of CUSA over not having a football program. How is that good for the school or the other sports? UAB has done very well in basketball and baseball in CUSA.
