IMO, it's a long answer but in sum, successful sports programs draw prospective student interest and also foster continued interest in alma mater by alums. See also 'school spirit' for existing students, faculty and local fans.

Makes sense DD - But if NU Vincentians don't care about the athletics then maybe d-2 or 3 is the answer. This way they still have athletics just no need to make sure they are competetive or any standards that a d-1 program should have. I for one accept NU the way it is, but wouldn't mind a little more. But Purp you are right we as alums are going to have to buck up in order for that to happen.

Hammer, I can't say this is for sure, but I am willing to bet that for every school that has climbed up the athletic ladder, there is an active and vocal alumni association endorsing the move. It even happened at Buffalo, a school that was known only for academia and not athletics, at least not on the scope/level that they now find themselves in.
