To me, with all of their strength being in the medical education field I am a bit surprised they don't just go with a MAJOR fundraising drive with donors from the medical field ($$$) and alums, even Birmingham businesses, they do have civic pride. Seems like they could do what we did with ZERO help from the state. Bypassing the selfish Bama alums. They need to!

I thought they had raised the seed money for a new stadium but the state wouldn't let them get a bond. I could be wrong.

UAB has started a $1 billion fund-raising campaign and some of that money is allocated to improve football facilities. New practice field and football offices are needed even more desperately than an OCS.

Go big or go home.
There are a number of universities shooting for the billion mark: BU, Texas Tech, I think (new Prez) John Kelly mentioned Clemson was just coming off of one.
FAU is ripe for another Capital Campaign and with the right people and the right plans I think they could be very successful.
Good luck to UAB. If they can raise the money and knock the Bama supporters out of the equation, they should.
