The NEC is reduced to bringing in Chicago State as a mercenary. Ignore the high-sounding rhetoric they published about the decision. It was Chicago State or die.

So SHU football has to be independent. So Bryant football had to join the Big South. Those were necessary sacrifices to ensure escape from Noreen's rotting conference.
One almost begs the question if that the schools left in the NEC are just better off being in the NE-10....
