The Chargers played their home games in the Propst Arena at the Von Braun Center and competed as an independent.
On October 24, 2011, interim UAH President Malcolm Portera announced that the 2011–12 season would be the school's final season competing at the NCAA Division I level, citing financial reasons.
The program would be "realigned" as a club team, and the coaches' jobs would be eliminated as of May 31, 2012.
[1] New UAH president Dr. Robert Altenkirch reversed the decision after he and school administrators met with local supporters on December 6, 2011.
The school set up a campaign to raise funds for the program, with the goal of getting the Chargers into a conference.
