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.
