The Death & Rebirth of UAB Football

In December of 2014, College Football history was made for all the wrong reasons. The UAB Blazers announced that they would be discounting football at the University, which was the first time an FBS school had made this decision since Pacific in 1995. Although UAB wasn’t a powerhouse, this was still a program that had players and staff members who put in a lot of work everyday to make it all happen, and just like that, the lives of everyone involved with the program were changed forever, But fast forward to present day 2022, and UAB is playing football again at the highest level it's ever played. So the question is, how did UAB go from not playing football, to restarting the program and now, making a bowl game in 5 straight seasons. This is: the Death and Rebirth of UAB Football.
