As an alum of the mighty Northeastern University and someone who follows their athletics, I thought I could shed just a little light on what the Huskies are up to and how it could impact movement.
Or, more accurately, how things could stay the same.
The Huskies recently announced a big fund-raising push, and they've begun investigating ways to improve their facilities. They did, from what I hear from a couple friends, look into dropping football, but that doesn't seem likely from what I've been able to gather.
Translation: They're keeping their sports, trying to get better buildings, and raising more money. These are not the actions of a school looking to go back to a smaller conference. The move was a bad idea in the first place (and the perfect example of why a school shouldn't move up just because it can, there are many other things to consider like travel, rivalries, etc.) in my opinion, but I can't see them going back anytime soon.
