UAB just became Alabama's first and only AAU member — joining Yale, Harvard, MIT, Stanford and 68 other research universities.
The institutional case is complete. The athletics program needs to match it.

When Andy Kennedy speaks, people listen.
UAB alum. Champion. Leader. And someone with a real vision for what UAB can be.
If AK wants the permanent AD job, he’d have my full support. If not, priority No. 1 for the next AD should be making his life easier and keeping him at UAB.

With High Point out, the only chance for a non-power conference team to make the Sweet Sixteen is Utah State. Which has to beat Zona to get there.
It's not a fluke. The Sweet 16 was 16 power conference teams last year.
Still love the tourney, but it's losing a lot of its charm.

Imagine if the University actually funded UAB Basketball to just the top 3rd of teams in the American

High Point went 30-4, hasn't lost since mid-January - and wouldn't have sniffed an at large bid
Miami (OH) went undefeated in the regular season, finished 31-1 and ended up in Dayton
We REALLY need to re-evaluate how we go about selecting at-large teams for the NCAA Tournament

High Point coach Flynn Clayman after beating Wisconsin:
"It looks obvious high-majors need to play mid-majors during the season. They said we didn't play nobody. … Nobody would play us, just like they wouldn't play Miami (Ohio). But they have to play us in this tournament."

We live in a world where the non high major has to “validate” that they belong & when they don’t, they get criticized for being included.
Miami’s showing they didn’t belong — in the First Four. Deserved to be playing for first time Thursday or Friday. All good: MAC makes more $!

Mid majors that win a lot of games > high majors that lose a lot of games vs tough teams
