Tomorrow is D-Day for the #FreeUAB movement as university president Ray Watts is scheduled to announce his decision on whether the football, bowling, and rifle programs will be reinstated.
Despite the decision drawing closer by the hour, that hasn’t slowed down the amount of support for the movement and now the support has crossed over into SEC territory outside of the state of Alabama.
Supporters at the University of Tennessee showed their support for UAB by painting the rock on campus in green and gold.

It has been amazing to see the amount of support pouring in from all directions and from the different college campuses across the country, and it looks like we will know by this time tomorrow if the support from everyone made a difference in bringing the programs back.
