Why do you think they have no chance of being successful in football?
I know the state legislature of Alabama doesn't really want UAB to have football and has been pushing for them to focus on research instead.

Thanks for the point about the state legislature not wanting football…but has Florida's state legislature had anything to do with FAU football? I guess I just dont know what thier role would be…
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

I believe there's a "free UAB" movement born out of the stadium denial - the UAB fans want to be their own independent university separate from UA. I doubt they'll be successful but the University of Birmingham has a nice ring to it.
Didn't UNC Charlotte do the same thing and now they're just simply known as Charlotte? Maybe I'm just making that up?? lol

I can't help but to laugh every time I hear this!
Well, then give up. You've achieved absolutely NOTHING as a member of Conf USA. You are a perennial door mat. You went to 1 bowl game in 2004 having lost to Hawaii.
"Five C-USA football teams went to bowl games last season, and they went 4-1. So did five teams from the Mountain West. They also finished with four wins in five tries. The Sun Belt sent three teams to the postseason and went 1-2."
Should've been 4 teams, WKU went 7-5 and 7-1 in conference. The Belt doesn't have as many bowl tie-ins.
Remove Houston and SMU who are going Big East and now you're down to 3 teams who went to a bowl game from C-USA (2-1).
Boise, TCU and Sd State are leaving the MWC and without them then there's only 2 MWC teams who went to a bowl game last season (0-2).
I'd love to hear from a knowledgeable UAB fan as to what it is exactly they've accomplished that they feel they're too good for the Belt?
