UAB too shut down additional sports not yet announced

My cousin was being heavily recruited to play for UAB on a basketball scholarship. She received a call this afternoon from someone associated with the Athletic Department who told her that she needed to look elsewhere because they won't have any scholarships available for women's basketball in 2015 and that they were sorry for any inconvenience this might cause her but the best of luck.
Don't know if this will be a Title IX casualty since football is terminated or not but suspect that they are positioned to terminate all athletics at UAB now.

It will definitely trickle down to womens sports. There are currently 85 girls on scholarship at UAB who have a scholarship simply because of the 85 male scholarships on the football team.
This is why it made so much financial sense to end the program....Title IX now lets them shut down a ton of cash leaching womens sports too.

Quick facts: UAB also had an 18 million dollar subsidy, making up over 60% of their total revenue. Even with the subsidy, they were only making $600,000 a year.
Good decision. Program needed to go.
Edit: my bad, this was whole athletic dept. I dumb.
