There has been a growing level of fraction within the system. But UAB is akin to an automaton. It serves a limited purpose, and very well. If football is valuable to that then the board should consider it an investment in the context of that role.

So, does football attract health science students to UAB?

Limited purpose? It is the biggest economic contributor in your state.

This is where it is important to be specific.

UAB is not. The UAB Hospital is. The UAB Hospital is run by two organizations, The University of Alabama Medical Education Program and the University of Alabama School of Medicine. The UAB Hospital is thus a quasi independent organization.
