They kill any plans for UAB to improve their station as a football school and it is very likely they'll vote to end the program in the next few weeks. From what I've read on Reddit, the U of A board killed a relatively successful NCAA-sanctioned hockey team at University of Alabama - Hunstville for no good reason so there's precedent for the board to do such a thing.

EDIT: The Alabama Board of Trustees vetoed UAB's hiring of Jimbo Fisher as head coach in spite of the fact UAB boosters were going to put up $600,000 in Fisher's salary.

Why are you posting this on a KC board? Who could possible give a rats ass?
