No they keep getting kicked out of their conference. They were a Division 2 powerhouse and when the NCAA dropped that level of hockey they decided to move up. All of their other programs are D2. They currently are in a conference with teams from Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Alaska. They've only made the playoffs in Division 1 twice, and both times they had a losing record. Hockey is already a money loser overall, but now they have to travel very far all the time.
You're thinking of UAB football.

Nope. They decided to go Div I and later lost their conference. Couldn't recruit or draw fans and lost a shitload of games and money. The interim president killed it in 2012.
New president got a lot of locals to pledge to fund it, so it was reinstated, and they were accepted by a conference in 2013
Current president killed it because of financial problems from covid. Locals raised $500k to fund it for one more year.
