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.

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.
