The white guy 5th year senior is Ty Long. He's now the starting punter for the Chargers. I'm happy for him, but the other guys who busted their asses. Transfers do not look good when playing sports, and this shit happened in December, most of their season had already passed. I am at a loss for words.
@TEDDY IHEARINDUEME Gotta have a team to take you. Sure the star Players on that club could transfer no problem. Some guy struggling as a 3rd stringer, busting his ass for that program. Yeah. His football days ended in that classroom. It's a shame.
Y’all know Ty Long? Well he’s the starting punter for the Chargers and he’s also the white dude that was talking at the beginning. Glad to see his success!
@@dustinhuck685 bro, he is a freaking punter. Relax! Judging that man as if he played qb. Honestly everyone wants to win the big game. But if you in the league as a punter then you do your job and your successful either way.
This isn’t a tragedy. This a circumstance and shows a lot of character. The white kid whining and weeping cause he thinks the world owes him something, once the black kids heard their scholarships were here to stay they were reasonable. It’s club football it’s not the death of a family member
@MNI Andes wah wah wah. Lifes not fair. Doesn’t matter what tragedies you experience because your future is defined by how you respond to them. "You drown not by falling into the river, but by staying submerged in it.”
He said, "I'm tired of listening to 'it' (not him)". The "it" he was referring to was the disrespectful interrupting from the players. The coach (who is actually going to lose money and be out of a job because of this) is handling it a lot better than most of these players that aren't getting paid anyways, most likely never were going to go to the NFL anyways, and can easily transfer if they truly are NFL-caliber. The coach (who likely has a family and kids to feed, unlike the players) is in a lot worse of a position and he still handled it like a man. Now did the old guy making the announcement do a good job at telling these players that the decision was made to cut football? No, he did a terrible job. It could have gone A LOT smoother if he just stuck to the financial element. Instead of saying, "nobody cares about UAB football more than I do" (which was an incredibly stupid thing to say), he should have just said, "Look, I dont want football to go away either, but it's just not financially sustainable to continue the program. We're losing money and we can't continue to dig ourselves into debt. It has nothing to do with you guys (referring to the players) or your ability to play the game. This is all economics and has nothing to do with you. Im sincerely sorry this is happening to you. Thank you for your years of dedication to UAB football. If you stay, you scholarships will still be honored. If you decide to transfer, I completely understand and wish you the best of luck."
How is he a legend? It's all about money for the guys in suits!! They come in there feeding them bullshit..... and you're concerned about him finishing his sentence? You're so ignorant.... shut the fuck up
He said that he’s worked harder than almost anyone at UAB and he was talking to football players who probably work harder in a week that he does in a year.
@@billyk3682 Sorry if this is an annoying question, but do you know if this was a sound decision? Was keeping the team really going to sink the school? Most of the time these programs being shut down really do just sound like money saving decisions rather than necessary ones.
When the dude mentioned the teammates having surgeries, so that they could still play... that hurt. Correction, when the guy in the black shirt mentioned his son, and his teammates came around to support him... that hurt more.
Shit man... that has pulling my heart strings, I starting tearing up a little bit. But they got there program back, and there playing hard ass football
So true! What makes college football amazing as well is that the UAB community rallied together and got this team back and it's looking like UAB could go to a bowl game after being shutdown just three years ago. What a turnaround and that's why college football is so special
college and pro are both looked as a business by the owners thats why alot of time high school is where its at its not about the money where someone is going to get traded or cut or the athletes just exploited for money in college
Phone at to god he’s retarded 😂 shoulda just emailed them or sum. Everyone in their is big, fast, strong, tall etc. and you’re gonna tell these athletes than
Left and right are both fucked up and have their fucked up agendas to kill us all and enslave us through the illusion of freedom. “It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to see it” - George Carlin.
Yup. The problem with politics is that money is involved. money always comes first and these politicians never have to feel the negative impacts their decisions make. But we do. We’re the ones who have to adjust to their tug of war bullshit. Not them. Their bank accounts will always be full no matter what because they always do what will generate the most money. And money attracts corruption and don’t get me started on that lol.
It’s true, money runs the world The people get shitted on EVERY RACE we’re all humans with feelings and need to work together I watch football(European) but this hurts man These teams are a brotherhood
My father is the man that founded the UAB football program in 1989, Jim Hilyer. We were destroyed by this announcement. He was in tears. He put his blood, money, sweat, and tears into building that program up from nothing, just to see Ray Watts, a pig of a human being, eliminate the football program after a bowl-eligible season edit: It's amazing to see this video and this comment getting so much attention after all these years. My dad is 85 now, retired from coaching completely, but he still loves and would die for this team and so would I. Blaze on, Forever!
I hope this team never goes away again. I’m an Auburn fan and I would hope UAB and Auburn play every year to help pay the program instead of the inbred spoiled rich kids at UAT.
@@davidcarlos9017 are you stupid? These people solely went to this college to play football. High schools and middle schools play football why would they need to cut football out of their budget. All you need is a shitty field. They can raise money fund raisers etc.
@@davidcarlos9017 you’d be sad if you worked 24/7 in the weight room and doing conditioning every day. Football isn’t just for fun it’s a experience it’s a brotherhood.
@@davidcarlos9017 that’s exactly what I’m saying? It’s a brotherhood I would be mad and sad if I traveled lhundreds of thousands miles to this college because they offered my a scholarship to play football then be informed after years of hard work that the work I put into becoming the best is all cancelled for what so they can afford a new smart board?
At first, I understood how messed up this was for the guys, but later on as the guys got more detailed with their emotions it made me realize how complex this really is. It's truly fascinating to watch this unfold because it's so damn civil. I couldn't help but notice the guy trying to cancel the program kept saying things like "I have the same passion as you," or "I care as much about UAB as you do" which did nothing but cause uproar. Never tell emotionally charged people that you understand them because even if you did (which likely is not the case), they aren't going to buy it. So sad, so civil, so interesting.
This is sad, I have a hard time believing they can't crunch some numbers and save this program. My heart goes out to all these players who put it on the line and are getting screwed over when it's already been proven the numbers where fudged up and the programs not losing money.
I'm not a football player ( I'm actually the opposite my dad played ) but that DOES NOT EXCUSE THE FACT that the young men who are playing football at UAB , ARE NOT BEING LiSTENED too by the people ( I can't call them administration nor can I call them "adults " because if they were adults they would've been at least sympathetic , the "suits" in this case aren't being ADULTS they're being money hungry capitalists who aren't concerned with the welfare of the students but the bottom line & ITS A DAMN SHAME #freeuab #holdurheadsblazernation
Him trying to prove that "he knows how they feel" automatically makes me lose all respect for him and disregard what he has to say. There's NO way he can truly understand. Him saying he does shows he's just saying random shit
@@emmanuelmty22 To be honest. I've done it before. It goes something like this. "As much as I truly care about this program, I realize that I could never fully understand how you as a team feel towards these decisions after the countless hours of blood sweat and tears you've poured out for it. I can't blame you if you're angry and I appreciate the passion you have for this program, but I do ask that you work with us through it."
AjHitEmUp 05 it was fucked up. And yeah, no shit he didnt wanna be a part of it, he didnt care in the first place, you heard what the players said, and how he responded.
Almost cried for that guy with the son and I don’t even cry in sad movies this is sad. Glad that they are back tho. Also, think about the seniors and the people that worked and worked just to see the program get destroyed
No cap I wanted to find some kind of go fund me for the vet with the 3 yr old son man but then I found out white guy that went over to him and comforted him is a starting punter for the chargers so he prolly helps out already
I dont get it he acted as if he got paid to be there and him being fired meant no food for his child but its just a club on the other hand he's 27 wtf is he doing playing ball he should be studying and getting his life together, especially since he's a vet.
the last older guy with the kid fighting for the young guys and everybody made me bawl. i haven’t done that in a while holy shit. he said exactly what needed to be said. i hope he’s doing amazing rn
@False Flag yeah idk what to say watching this again. just to ruin a whole class of kids just tryna do their thing. i hope they’re all doing amazing still. for some suit to sound like a straight up dumbass and just try to ruin those kids life. fuck him
absolute dumbass. i hope most got in somewhere else but ik they probably didn’t cause he fucked them all over. not an easy thing to do at all and he doesn’t care in the slightest
@@jeffy7621 I don't believe that. These guys are taking it as if their life is over. And I'm not trying to like downplay their passion, but for example, if you're not setting your life up in other aspects when disasters like this happen then you shouldn't be too surprised.

Good! Football is a piece of shit sport that is filled to the brim with woman beaters, rapists, absent fathers, and people who should by all means be labelled as felons for life but are let off the hook easy because some billionaire team owner hired a million-dollar lawyer for them to have an undeserved "Get out of Jail Free" card. Furthermore, it creates a very toxic, anti-intellectual environment on campus by leaving an open invitation for future woman beaters, rapists, absent fathers, and likely future felons to attend classes and act like they deserve some decent place in American society. Players are given a free pass on having shitty grades, free passes for not just bad but horribly criminal behavior, and basically allowed to do almost anything they like on campus for absolutely no reason other than the fact that they just so happen to spend lots of time playing a game that was designed for children and was adored by blithering, drunk retards. Notice the use of the word "was" in that last sentence. Thank you God and Jesus Christ for sending Colin Kaepernick into the NFL and starting the unstoppable chain reaction which will without any doubt completely destroy everything that league used to be. UAB is doing nothing wrong in any way with this move to cut the program; they are simply correcting a terrible injustice which has been forced on the students who actually go to the school for the right reasons, and they are taking away the ridiculously stupid free lunch ticket that all of the ogre-looking pieces of shit on the gridiron should have never been given in the first place. Next step is to cut about half of the Liberal Arts "education" programs and then the school will be able to start returning back to a place of knowledge instead of the place of feelings and football jocks that it devolved into over the last fifty years.
djhenyo if you feel so strongly about this maybe instead of wishing they should cut football and liberal arts programs. Then here's a thought that may have not crossed your hard headed mind, put yourself out in the forefront of cutting programs and make your voice heard rather than just bitching about it over a UA-cam comment. If you feel so strongly about what you're preaching here then you should have no problem getting a group together to end football and liberal arts programs but hey if you just wanna bitch about it over the internet then be my guest but either handle the shit your so fired up about or stop bitching
Nobody listen to Tim. Because of this outcry and somebody recording it- the public scrutiny was to severe and it was shortly reinstated. The biggest thing we have against suits is public scrutiny which is both good and bad because it can be hijacked by snowflakes (people left or right). But in this instance it worked for the better
Man I love these players. These aren't kids, they're real men. Fiercely defending how much effort and work they've put in and the bit that finished me off was watching them all fiercely defend their coaches. This is so sad.
@Esteban Bigly because someone tried too take the thing that could change there life away from them they handled this like real men no violence just talking
@Esteban Bigly I can tell just by your ignorant comment that you would have tried to fight the dude in the suit if you had to deal with what they did. If I was an NFL scout, I'd write down those 3 guys that spoke up for their team, and in defense of their coaches, and keep them in the back of my mind. Very few players in the NFL have this kind of passion anymore. They lose it all when they get their first paycheck. I can tell by that veteran, and the 5th year senior, they'll cherish every moment they get on an NFL field.
@@Shinnyy nah he knew. He was using the guys own words against him, to say "it goes both ways", like "you don't know the passion, how seriously we take this, what it means to us", etc. While the CEO dude probably mean "you don't know the budget constraints, or the financial situation"
The worst thing Watts could have said was the one where he said he loved UAB more than anyone. He cant sit there and tell me he loves that school more than those players. They put the uniform on that says UAB on the front of it every day and go play their hearts out for a school where the president doesn't support them. I am happy that the program is in the process of coming back. #freeuab
it was my senior year at college when covid hit and they cancelled our season. it’s real pain these players felt, respect to all of them for expressing themselves
Heart goes to Uab football but also hostfra another college football program that got shut down Truly sad and crushing for the young men who played their hearts out for that school
NYC football is trash though bro its all about basketball up north hoftstra is also trying change its image and become a more academic focus school so they rather spent miney hiring better professors but sucks though I think fordham and columbia might be only schools with programs
Here’s another thing. This effects fans, the coaches and players and the university. Fans cheering there heart out. Players playing there heart out. College Football is a sport that brings everyone together.
@@monkas7270 Did you play college football? Did you have to do the work and physical pain that these players went through? Or are you sitting here calling players(who risk their mental and physical health doing this)who literally just got their football program cut crybabies?
I'm a Vols fan personally, but I really admire these young men. They are very passionate about the game and each other as a family. It is true, when you are a part of something for a long time...those people become your family. Some of what they said even inspired me. Those of the kinds of players you want on your team and at your program to begin with. I can understand their pain in having something like that just taken away, after the school gave them a scholarship to play there. Respect.
This turned into a motivational football movie scene at 6:48. Hope all of these guys are doing well for themselves now. This is just another example of how college is a business at the end of the day and students are seen as customers, not the future of this nation.
You know this happened, and I heard this from someone who lives next to the university, they did this to help fund the University of Alabama football program.
Damn it man...I can’t imagine moving across the country to play football for a school and then they do that shit! It just makes me think of all the kids now during coronavirus that didn’t get to even play their final games. So sad man!
He absolutely fucked this program in all aspects out of that announcement. This was just uncalled for. For them to shut down the football program for unforeseen circumstances, was just despicable. Now this shit has got me so fuckin' hot and so angry that I wish if I was there and they said they're going to shut out any sport... I would've just went off!!! The UAB president should be ashamed of himself for stripping those players their football livelihoods and possibly their NFL futures. Just makes me absolutely sick!!!
phanny pack it’s not about that they were a brotherhood they loved each other it’s hard to transfer to another team after going through so much shit with your guys
This is coming from a North Texas (a fellow C-USA member school) student, I have nothing but respect for these kids, their passion and dedication to their craft & the reincarnation and subsequent comeback of the Blazers football program. Too bad a few of their wins have come at our expense since the team returned, but we need a 30 for 30 on this program comeback. I'm happy that they've enjoyed as much success as they have since their return to football. These kids really deserved better than this, always breaks my heart watching this video :(
10:02 when you’re in a room full of hostile people and they’re hostile at you, it’s not time to say you care more than everybody else especially if you’re an absentee president!
man i love every football team in alabama and when i found out uab cut football..... when i had friends who wanted to play there i just still cant believe it.i cant even image what the players are feeling, go blazers!
Sorry bro, I was homeless for my senior year in 2012. I was a starter and had to get a job as a dish washer just so I could eat. I missed a couple games and just decided I couldn’t play anymore. Shit happens but I promise you’ll get another shot if you go the college route.
I’ve been blessed to have a my football senior year but it was only 6 games since some schools opted out to play in the spring but idc I’m beyond blessed to have a senior season
that second guy to ask questions is way smarter that the administrator. bringing up the economic impact and the fact that they never asked the team to come up with a plan fix the problem or fundraise or anything. And wow that was the stupidest way you could react to an emotional veteran.... basically saying I'm better than all of you.
@@lrc3847 I hear you. I'm a wrestler. I've seen a lot of teams cut, despite those teams being able to fund their own program. There is always something political secretly happening.
I remember when schools cut out their music and arts programs so that they could spend more on their sports programs instead. Never thought they’d end up doing the same to their athletic department.
@Just Jeff other schools in general. Even though it’s just a movie, Mr. Holland’s Opus does a great job showing that the issues of cutbacks, etc to music education programs was a very real thing.
@@locomojoboy2 that's very generalized, so I'll generalize what I've seen even in rural Alabama. When the sports programs get money, so does the band program, meaning so does the music programs in general at the school. So I don't see what you mean.

Left and right are both fucked up and have their fucked up agendas to kill us all and enslave us through the illusion of freedom. “It’s called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to see it” - George Carlin.
Yup. The problem with politics is that money is involved. money always comes first and these politicians never have to feel the negative impacts their decisions make. But we do. We’re the ones who have to adjust to their tug of war bullshit. Not them. Their bank accounts will always be full no matter what because they always do what will generate the most money. And money attracts corruption and don’t get me started on that lol.

My father is the man that founded the UAB football program in 1989, Jim Hilyer. We were destroyed by this announcement. He was in tears. He put his blood, money, sweat, and tears into building that program up from nothing, just to see Ray Watts, a pig of a human being, eliminate the football program after a bowl-eligible season
edit: It's amazing to see this video and this comment getting so much attention after all these years. My dad is 85 now, retired from coaching completely, but he still loves and would die for this team and so would I. Blaze on, Forever!
Chase Hilyer I’m glad the team is back and now 8-4!!!
I hope this team never goes away again. I’m an Auburn fan and I would hope UAB and Auburn play every year to help pay the program instead of the inbred spoiled rich kids at UAT.

That guy is making a healthy 6 figures, if not 7...I'd do it for that.
At first, I understood how messed up this was for the guys, but later on as the guys got more detailed with their emotions it made me realize how complex this really is. It's truly fascinating to watch this unfold because it's so damn civil. I couldn't help but notice the guy trying to cancel the program kept saying things like "I have the same passion as you," or "I care as much about UAB as you do" which did nothing but cause uproar. Never tell emotionally charged people that you understand them because even if you did (which likely is not the case), they aren't going to buy it. So sad, so civil, so interesting.
If he had the same passion, he would have been able to sympathize way easier. Dude is a fraud and will always put $ before humanity.
i dont like UAB but i respect those players that video shows so much pation and heart they had for that team
Austine Bryson a lot of pation
PATION
Open pation
I like pation
Luke Stewart pation?? 😂😂💀💀 You mean passion???
Thats some raw emotion right there. I feel for those kids and coaches.
This is sad, I have a hard time believing they can't crunch some numbers and save this program. My heart goes out to all these players who put it on the line and are getting screwed over when it's already been proven the numbers where fudged up and the programs not losing money.
I'm not a football player ( I'm actually the opposite my dad played ) but that DOES NOT EXCUSE THE FACT that the young men who are playing football at UAB , ARE NOT BEING LiSTENED too by the people ( I can't call them administration nor can I call them "adults " because if they were adults they would've been at least sympathetic , the "suits" in this case aren't being ADULTS they're being money hungry capitalists who aren't concerned with the welfare of the students but the bottom line & ITS A DAMN SHAME

I can't blame you if you're angry and I appreciate the passion you have for this program, but I do ask that you work with us through it."

NBW DOUGHBOY their back now
They came back
They are back
Good! Football is a piece of shit sport that is filled to the brim with woman beaters, rapists, absent fathers, and people who should by all means be labelled as felons for life but are let off the hook easy because some billionaire team owner hired a million-dollar lawyer for them to have an undeserved "Get out of Jail Free" card. Furthermore, it creates a very toxic, anti-intellectual environment on campus by leaving an open invitation for future woman beaters, rapists, absent fathers, and likely future felons to attend classes and act like they deserve some decent place in American society. Players are given a free pass on having shitty grades, free passes for not just bad but horribly criminal behavior, and basically allowed to do almost anything they like on campus for absolutely no reason other than the fact that they just so happen to spend lots of time playing a game that was designed for children and was adored by blithering, drunk retards.
Notice the use of the word "was" in that last sentence. Thank you God and Jesus Christ for sending Colin Kaepernick into the NFL and starting the unstoppable chain reaction which will without any doubt completely destroy everything that league used to be. UAB is doing nothing wrong in any way with this move to cut the program; they are simply correcting a terrible injustice which has been forced on the students who actually go to the school for the right reasons, and they are taking away the ridiculously stupid free lunch ticket that all of the ogre-looking pieces of shit on the gridiron should have never been given in the first place. Next step is to cut about half of the Liberal Arts "education" programs and then the school will be able to start returning back to a place of knowledge instead of the place of feelings and football jocks that it devolved into over the last fifty years.
djhenyo if you feel so strongly about this maybe instead of wishing they should cut football and liberal arts programs. Then here's a thought that may have not crossed your hard headed mind, put yourself out in the forefront of cutting programs and make your voice heard rather than just bitching about it over a UA-cam comment. If you feel so strongly about what you're preaching here then you should have no problem getting a group together to end football and liberal arts programs but hey if you just wanna bitch about it over the internet then be my guest but either handle the shit your so fired up about or stop bitching
Gutless just gutless and for him to boast his 42 years and to walkout like that gutless.

Nobody listen to Tim. Because of this outcry and somebody recording it- the public scrutiny was to severe and it was shortly reinstated. The biggest thing we have against suits is public scrutiny which is both good and bad because it can be hijacked by snowflakes (people left or right). But in this instance it worked for the better
Man I love these players. These aren't kids, they're real men. Fiercely defending how much effort and work they've put in and the bit that finished me off was watching them all fiercely defend their coaches. This is so sad.
Not just for them straight telling this suit what their coaches did for them and the program and what they sacrificed
@Esteban Bigly Ironically, that is EXACTLY who the suits in all this could be personified as. If you can't see that, you're a terrible human being.
@Esteban Bigly because someone tried too take the thing that could change there life away from them they handled this like real men no violence just talking
@Esteban Bigly I can tell just by your ignorant comment that you would have tried to fight the dude in the suit if you had to deal with what they did. If I was an NFL scout, I'd write down those 3 guys that spoke up for their team, and in defense of their coaches, and keep them in the back of my mind. Very few players in the NFL have this kind of passion anymore. They lose it all when they get their first paycheck. I can tell by that veteran, and the 5th year senior, they'll cherish every moment they get on an NFL field.
I'm not whatsoever an emotional guy, but I felt that room. And those emotions
Sociopath 😋?

It is true, when you are a part of something for a long time...those people become your family. Some of what they said even inspired me. Those of the kinds of players you want on your team and at your program to begin with. I can understand their pain in having something like that just taken away, after the school gave them a scholarship to play there. Respect.
