Article was previously kept in AFD, but with flawed rationales (
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS or meets GNG without sources to back it up). No indication this "rivalry" ever met
WP:GNG or
WP:NRIVALRY. Unsuccessful in finding national sources that indicate this was ever considered a major "rivalry", which makes this article
original research. UAB since disbanded their football program so its very unlikely these two teams will face again. DeleteSecretaccount19:49, 3 December 2014 (UTC)reply
In 2013, Memphis moved into the
American Athletic Conference while UAB remained in
Conference USA. Neither team scheduled the other in either football or basketball from that point forward. American college football schedules are typically made out years in advance and neither school had the other on their upcoming schedules. In 2014, UAB decided to discontinue football which makes it physically impossible for the two schools to play in this sport.
UAB shutting down football program Neither school has played each other in men's basketball since the 2012-2013 season. Delete --Gregchilders 15:10, 4 December 2014 (UTC) â Preceding

Delete Not finding significant coverage of the type expected under
WP:GNG and
WP:NRIVALRY to establish that this brief, and now discontinued, series between non-major programs was a sufficiently notable rivalry.
