C-USA: League will be patient on whether to keep UAB

Conference USA will be patient in deciding whether to keep the University of Alabama at Birmingham as a member, C-USA commissioner Britton Banowsky said Thursday.

UAB president Ray Watts gave a presentation to C-USA presidents this week during the conference's winter meetings in Boca Raton, Fla. UAB dropped football last month and C-USA bylaws require schools to play football to be a member.

Since then, UAB has created a committee to reexamine its justification for dropping football, bowling and rifle. A new outside consultant is going to be hired to review financial numbers and assumptions from a previous consultant's report.

“It's an extraordinary situation. It's not like any kind of membership transition,” Banowsky said. “We don't really have a timetable. I think our folks have a level of patience and are going to be pretty measured in the way we review it. We're going to stay in communication and monitor the situation as UAB tries to understand what it's going to do.”
