The memos uncovered by AL.com show that UAB president Ray Watts was not being truthful when he said on multiple occasions that the decision to shut down the programs was not made until November.

In detailed memos obtained by AL.com, Sard Verbinnen advised UAB to wait to make its decision until after the UA BOT met in November order to prevent "unwarranted speculation" about the BOT's involvement.
"By announcing post-season, UAB minimizes the risk of meeting disruption and mitigates any inference that the decision was driven by the Board of Trustees," the firm wrote in a memo addressed to Jim Bakken, the school's director of media relations.

If Auburn fans had been as supportive of UAB football the last 15 years as they have been the past six months, then the program would be thriving.

I really don't see the big deal here.
1. UAB football was a money suck.
2. Officials chose to release the information in a way to minimize outcry that was unreasonable in the first place.

I think Ray Watts is getting to much hate, although he did lie. He is a neurologist that's been at Harvard and Emory. Enrollment and test scores have increased in tenure and while most of us put athletics first, it's probably not his top priority.
