If NU were to cut basketball it might as well close.

The key, always the key, is management.

They has mismanaged the athletic program for decades, with no indication of an epiphany on the horizon.

Niagara should be doing exactly what they are doing. The MAAC is a perfect conference for the program and no they should not be investing tons of money into basketball. AJ Storr (Wisconsin portal entrant) reportedly wants $1,000,000. Kansas countered offered $750,000 and he turned them down. That is not NIL it is play for pay. Little 3 schools are not going to be able to match those resources nor will the vast majority of D1 programs. Why make any kind of jump to a lower division when the structure of college athletics is so hazy. Obviously LeMoyne, Stonehill, and St Thomas felt there was benefit in moving up. At some point the P5 may break away but Niagara would still be aligned with 280 other colleges. Or maybe the P6 decides that they don’t want to change the basketball tourney and things stay the same (though with the rich getting richer). In 3-5 years we will know where things are headed.
