Fr. Peter releases a relatively informative statement (unlike some other statements that have come out of the FCS world today) laying out the risk/rewards of moving to the Big East. Unfortunately, no decision will be made by the university until April, though he does lay out the timeline over the next year that the school will follow before it makes its choice.

How extremely interesting that this announcement comes at about the same time the Patriot League decides to do nothing concerning scholarships.

Sounds like 'Nova is delaying the inevitable. Meanwhile, the Big East is supposed to wait for them?

Is the Big East stopping at nothing for Villanova to become an all-sports member of its conference? Remember that they have TCU already.

the big east has been waiting for years....but i dont think really are too pleased with this. their magic number is 10 teams, which could make Nova that final piece to the puzzle. theres rumors of UCF joining if that doesnt happen, but BE wants to keep things internal if possible

Indeed. Interesting that neither the Nova or PL statement made ESPN.com, either.

This has been one of multiple updates by the president. It's nothing special whatsoever. 3rd or 4th time Fr. Peter sent out a letter like this.
