The Governor is technically the President of the Board of Trustees...for the rare occassions when he deems meetings important enough to intrude on his precious time.

Bentley is a coward. I don't see him making this move. He basically campaigned for Governor by saying we will come up with something. Can't see him risking his political career for something like UAB football.

what political career, with all due respect? He's in his 2nd and final term as governor now, this is it for him. He has nothing to fear, IMO, from pulling this "trigger" for the son of one of his former patients. Politicians make for strange bedfellows...& for what it's worth, I do agree with one thing you said, bentley is a definitive coward if he goes thru with this. what political career, with all due respect?
