While UAB fans, employees, students, and especially student-athletes, read story after story that the athletic director has been fired and that football will be eliminated within days, if not hours, the man who has supposedly orchestrated this catastrophe, UAB President Ray Watts, has reportedly been partying it up in New York City, refuses to return emails or calls, or speak to the parties affected, and has yet to speak publicly on the matter beyond a prepared statement released to the media two weeks ago.
If this isn't proof this man is unfit to lead a major research university, I don't know what is.
Just a sampling of today's news:
