The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) announced Tuesday it would shutter the program after this year's mediocre season (6-6) and financial instability. The lack of a campus stadium has added to its inability to create a fan base the past two decades. Coach Bill Clark hinted at the possibility on Sunday.
