University of Alabama-Birmingham (UAB), a member of CUSA, is dropping football because of financial considerations. Joe Nocera (one of my favorite columnists) writes a pretty balanced column about it.

Yep. The BoT at Alabama have been scheming for years to pull this off. And they won't stop with killing UAB football, either.
