I read on the Albany message board that their commitment to the NEC football is finished now. This was the last season they are committed to the NEC on a five year contract. They are a football only member like DU.
There is talk of Albany and Stoney Brook moving to CAA and Albany has plans for a new football stadium in the works. But nothing is in place in regards to conference movement just yet. The stadium plans are a go.
That would be a blow to the NEC but it would help take away a major obstacle out of DU's way. Still keeping Albany in the NEC and beating them would be the best option.

BONEHEAD PLAY BY ALBANY At Game's End
Albany pulls one of the stupidest plays I've seen in quite some time (on ESPN3) with the ball on Stoney Brook's 2 yd. line, second down (I believe) and goal, and less than a minute in the game, trailing 31-28. Instead of running the ball as they had been somewhat successful in their last drive, the Albany QB throws deep in the end zone to a receiver who was very well covered rather than throwing the ball clearly out of bounds. The Stoney Brook defender breaks up the pass and does a masterful job of of catching the ball with his feet within inches of the the end zone back line before he fell out of bounds. Stoney Brook was rightly awarded the interception and then ran out the clock with a 3 point win. What an ill-conceived and/or poorly executed play to end the game!
I'm not sure the Dukes would have beaten Stoney Brook had they been the NEC representative in the FCS playoffs, but I don't think they would have let the game slip threw their fingers as did Albany.
