UB's profile in the MAC has never been higher. With five conference titles in the past two years there is never a better time to be a UB fan.
It's not magic that made this happen, it's money. UB's spending on Athletics is near the top of the conference, something which was not the standard a decade ago.
Credit Warde Manuel with starting the culture change by daring UB to support football or stop pretending. Credit Danny White, who sold more tickets, brought in more donations, and got more revenue than many thought he could under the New York Bulls Initiative.
