In December Ray Watts broke the new that UAB would be shutting down their football program much to the dismay and disgust of the current staff, players and students. So when Watts broke the news on Monday that the football team would be reinstated everybody on UAB’s campus jumped for joy. The goal is that the team will be back on the field in Conference USA in the 2016 season. Check out video with Watts and the fans reaction when they heard Watts. Good luck to the UAB hopefully they will be able to get back on track.
