It's a brutal situation for the NEC. The "best" options are probably:
1) Get Chicago St or some other immediately eligible program (Rider?) to stay at the AQ starting in 24-25
2) A partial or full merge with the MEAC

Do nothing and the NEC is at 5 eligible teams in 24-25 putting them under the AQ

That's probably where Sacred Heart and Merrimack will end up, so it's not impossible for SFU to do that. But the additional travel cost would not be enticing.

They could theoretically jump, but then would need to house football somewhere. Geography at least fits as they were a travel partner with RMU in the NEC days

It’s not the craziest idea. While it stabilizes the NEC’s AQ for most, if not all, sports, most of those remaining teams are cash strapped and would have trouble justifying the added travel cost to play several times per season in the Midwest. Also hoops would have 18 (!) teams fighting for 1 bid.

After Bobby V became the SHU AD a lot more people dreamed of doing that job I’m sure
