No they didn't, and most importantly, they had zero contributions.
Well it's not like you can raise money for a project that is going to get shut down.
They had people ready.

UAB booster Jimmy Filler, who played a key role in getting purchase commitments for all 27 luxury suites in the proposed stadium, said he does not believe the board of trustees is committed to a successful UAB football program, calling Tuesday a "sad day for UAB and the city of Birmingham."

Dr. Luc Frenette, a longtime UAB booster who was one of the 27 individuals or corporations that made the five-year, $100,000 commitment for a suite, said it will be difficult for the football program to reach its potential without building a stadium to use in place of Legion Field.

It doesn't get shut down if you have cash. That's why the athletic department needs to start an athletics capital campaign for facilities.
The promise to lease suites for five years is NOT the same thing.
As I said before, I will happily write a check if this happens. I'm not, however, going to sit here and beg for state welfare for UAB athletics.
