This time the dominoes fell on the Southside of Birmingham as UAB on Thursday accepted an invitation to join the American Athletic Conference.

AAC Commissioner Michael Aresco said during a Thursday press conference that UAB’s DNA is to compete.

“They’ve got a brand new stadium in the heart of Birmingham,” he said. “They’re in a location that loves college sports, especially college football. That’s true of our other schools as well.”
