It appears UAB will awarded the 2016 C-USA Basketball Tournament, after hosting it in 2015. All the AD's of the schools (not bidding for the tournament) apparently feel sorry for UAB and its fans for the idiotic decisions made to get rid of their football program, just to bring it back three months later. While I am very glad for UAB and its fan base to have kept their football program, it certainly doesn't mean they deserve to host this tournament in back-to-back seasons, and I scratch my head as to why the conference believes they should be compensated as such.
