Problem at this point is it's almost a fait accompli. Everyone is making plans to go somewhere else next year, there's no incoming freshman class, so even if the SBC supporters win out you'll end up with nobody next year and only a small incoming class the next, your faculty is scrambling to find new jobs and may or may not come back if things are started up. If the board simply wanted to torpedo the school, the announcement did a heck of a job towards that end.
