Epilogue
No announcement was ever made, but the Birmingham Vulcans appear to have ceased operations.

Surprisingly, the North American Basketball League continued play.

The league cancelled their 2020 season due to the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2021, the NABL managed to play a few games before folding, and no champion was crowned.
