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.

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.

UAB should be a graduate school and research institution/hospital system..

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.

Not sure why people are so obsessed with the "cash leaching" sports. It's funny to me that people who are fans of a football team at a school they probably didn't even attend, want to take an opportunity away from a student athlete they don't even know, so that money can go towards the football program...just because.
Will it change your life for the better if some volleyball player's scholly money goes to put new seats in the football staff's meeting room? It won't. But it will change the volleyball player's situation for the worse.

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.

Actually, you fact isn't a fact.
The football program made a little above 3 million without the subsidies.

So they'll have to drop 85 women's athletic scholarships to keep parity between the 2 programs?
If so, this is a perfect example of how the ruling HURTS women's sports.
