.@UAB_FB Coach Alex Mortensen on what he is selling recruits, "The facility is excellent - the campus itself is great - Birmingham is awesome, and I think a lot of people who haven't been here don't understand that."
UAB: $15.4 million for renovations at Bartow Arena and only $450,000 the roster (NIL).
The future of UAB Basketball is in jeopardy if the NIL funds are not competitive. ⬇️

'We're In Bozo Land' - Andy Kennedy Doesn't Understand How His UAB Team Gets Paid A Ton Of Money And Then Goes 10-for-22 On Layups https://t.co/CCTWfE1TA8
UAB news: I have been informed that the financial support is significant for our team and should really help if we play our cards right.
Source of the funding is unknown if it’s institutional or Foundation funding on my end. Wasn’t able to get specifics. But I trust it is real
I understand that frustration. But it seems like Auburn fans are frustrated as well & they are packed out each week. We won’t have a program with that mindset. I wish more UAB fans would just show up for their team. Mort is legit, honestly it makes sense as well if you can give him a short term contract with not many guarantees it makes sense. You had multiple people turn the job down. I guarantee you a lot of these those coaches wanted 3 to 5 year contracts. The same thing they gave Dilfer. So while I hear your frustration. If people do as you say, we won’t have a program in a few years again. So my suggestion is if you really love the program like I know you do…. don’t let your hatred for Mark Ingram affect your support for the football team. Either way, I respect your passion. UAB Fan’s have been nothing but great to me and I love UAB. I want nothing but the best for UAB so I’m hopeful Mort gets it done.
Ever faithful, Ever loyal
UAB football is expected to hire Alex Mortensen as the school’s next head coach, per ESPN’s @PeteThamel. Mortensen worked as the interim coach this year in the wake of Trent Dilfer’s dismissal. He beat No. 22 Memphis and won at Tulsa as the interim coach.
I have zero confidence in our athletic department. Why should anybody? No transparency, no communication. Fire @UAB_AD and Free UAB. @UAB_Athletics@UAB_FB
