UAB Annual Impact on the Alabama Economy
As the largest single employer in Alabama, with more than 23,000 employees, UAB partners with organizations such as Birmingham Business Alliance and the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama — to spur robust economic development.
UAB's 2010 Economic Impact Study, which was conducted by the nationally respected firm Tripp-Umbach, calculated UAB's impact on the state of Alabama at $4.6 billion. The economic and employment impact of UAB’s expansion in 2020 (mid-range scenario) is projected to grow to $6.6 billion, generate 72,449 jobs and create $431.4 million in state and local tax revenue.
In 2013, UAB’s annual economic impact on Alabama already exceeds $5 billion:
UAB supports more than 61,000 jobs statewide — one in 33 in Alabama.
UAB generates $1 in every $25 in the state’s budget.
The state’s return on investment in UAB exceeds 20 to 1.

This ain't shocking to me. UAB just needs to get from under the UA system. They could end up being like UCF is in FL (largest school in the state) because they aren't being held back

JSU enuff said!
They wont be the last school to do this....As GR said there are a few programs in the SWAC who needs to drop down a Division but our pride will never allow that to happen....
Student fees could help out with funding but with the increases of college tuition it would be hell trying to explain an extra fee now...its all messed up!

Does Birmingham still have plans to build a dome?
While driving through Birmingham, I drove by the Sixteenth Baptist Church and then drove by UAB. I can believe those financial numbers about the school. Those numbers can be a huge advantage if they can play it.
I remember when they played PV. I also remember when they were one game from the Final Four in 1982. They would have played Georgetown and Patrick Ewing if they had beaten Louisville. It was their fourth or fifth year of basketball.

Very sad for the players at UAB. Those kids really fought to be bowl eligible this season.

Some of largest schools in California don't have a football program due to location.
California State University Long Beach enrollment - 35,586
California State University Fullerton enrollment - 38,128
California State University Northridge enrollment - 38,310
USC and UCLA are kings of football in the Southern California area and the three schools above have a much larger enrollment than USC and UCLA.
That's not quite true. Both UCLA and USC have enrollments over 40,000

With Alabama State enrollment and financial woes do you really think this is feasible. Can Alabama State football carry a 10-35 million deficit which is what several lower tear FBS teams carry. UAB is in the hole 17.7 million.. No smack just serious questions. Can you saddle and already struggling budget with those kinds of debt. Add to it the stadium deficit you already have...

Maybe USC and UCLA have larger enrollments with their combined undergraduates and postgraduates enrollment, but their undergraduates enrollment are significantly less than those other schools in Southern California. When it comes to athletics, the undergraduates enrollment counts the most. At one time, I think California State University Long Beach had the largest enrollment in the State. I believe their enrollment was close to 50,000 at one time.
USC Undergraduates: Undergraduates 18,316
USC Postgraduates: 21,642
USC Total: 39,958

UCLA Undergraduates: 27,941 (2014)
UCLA Postgraduates: 12,212 (2014)
UCLA Total: 40,153 (2014)

But those schools have never had football. I'm sure if push came to shove and they wanted to, they could (although they probably wouldn't unless it's feasible and CSUF has dropped other sports. They're a national power in baseball though).
Guess it's a lot easier to a start up football program in Texas than CA because schools like Texas State were able to do it easily

I believe California State University Long Beach did. They were the 49ers. Also, California State University Fullerton. They were the Titans. I believe they both used to play Grambling back in the days. The problem with those schools, their graduates are not loyal sport fans to their undergraduate school. Most of the graduates at those schools continue their postgraduate studies at USC or UCLA, which they end up being more loyal too. In Southern California, it's either USC or UCLA.

Texas State has had a program for decades... they just changed their name from Southwest Texas State to just Texas State. UTSA's program is new, though.

I believe that the first hbcu to move up and do it right will not have the same problems that other lower tier fbs schools have. I think the nature of being the first and only, like notre dame will provide some benefit. as well as many minority head coaches that are looking for positions, the first hbcu to move up will become a launching pad for young black coaches to show how talented they really are.
I remember when we said that...
