Ray Watts has shown that his allegiance is to PBJ and the BoT, not his current students, faculty, or future students. Someone with such little regard or concern for the university that employs him does not deserve to the president of said university.
No transparency, no competence, only treachery and idiocracy, the Ray Watts "brand" needs to be stricken from the UAB campus as soon as possible. He has helped the UA Board Of Trustees to kill Gene Bartow a second time. He's earned the vote of no confidence.
My student and her parents chose UAB, not the University of AL in Tuscaloosa. UAB needs a leader that will fight for them. I want my student well represented in all circumstances. UAB is an excellent college and should be treated as one.
How can someone just take something away that people attented thats college to be a part of. This will cause UAB numbers of enrollment to decrease. I for one am one who have grown uo wanting to be in the marching band, doesnt look like I can now.
UAB Alum '07. We saw this dirty fight beginning when I was a student... never thought it would come to fruition. UAB needs a president like Ann Reynolds, Scotty McCallum and Carol Garrison who fight for UAB's best interest, not the system's!
Fire the lizard before he keels over

Watts is responsible for some of the worst decision-making in UAB's history. Whether you believe football should exist at UAB or not, Watts has garnered way more than our "money's worth" of bad PR. UAB can't afford football?? UAB can't afford WATTS!
