Imo the mere fact of being asked to do this - especially in sophomore year - is the biggest red flag of all about the underlying financial situation of the requesting relative. Any family rumblings that might arise from saying no are likely to be less than those that erupt when OP’s husband is on the hook for payment. Especially if the niece drops out or down to CC because they can’t afford any more college after this year.
