Oh hell no...
The 10 or so alumni who cared about football are going to rally the same 15,000 people who showed up for their final home game at the cruddy oversized football greatness graveyard that is Legion Field.
UAB has zero money they can raise because nobody cares about their football program...that whiny little bi.tch named Bear Jr, will sacrifice virgins to Satan because he already sold his soul, to keep UAB out of D-1.
Oh, and who in the hell is going to trust the program if they said,
"Hey, we got kicked out by overly powers that be...for 1 year, now we're back with an uncertain future...we will win 4 games a season with a fanbase who doesn't even know we exist! Play for us!"
I don't care if they're good at basketball, football is where the future is, and they don't have football...thus...no future.
