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.


Its not just the athletic department that they will be able to axe but also the music department at the school because who needs a UAB band when you don't have a UAB sports platform to play at. Lot of scholarships associated with this move that will be cut and a lot of students who would be UAB students will now go elsewhere.

UT Arlington (my alma mater) has a band but no football team. They go around to high schools and other events to perform.

So you can have one without the other.
