It says nothing:


Dear UC Community,

Given the recent developments in athletics conference realignment, I want our Bearcat family to know that we are not only closely monitoring the situation but also working proactively to protect and serve the best interests of the University.

Our message to the broader community is that UC is firmly committed to competing at the highest level, both on and off the field. From our research profile to our number of national merit scholars, UC stands tall as one of the top public research universities in the nation. Moreover, we are building a remarkable amount of momentum, as evidenced by our 17 spot leap in the U.S. News & World Report ranking over the past two years.

Also impressive is the heightened success of our athletic programs. Last year, for instance, UC ended the season with top 25 finishes in both football and basketball--a fact that only five other schools in the country can claim. Plus, the academic success of our student-athletes has never been stronger.

In short, UC has a terrific story to tell, and we will not miss an opportunity to share our aspirations and accomplishments with our peers.

During this time of fast-paced developments, as well as widespread rumors, I respectfully ask for your patience and understanding. Please know that we are doing all that we can to secure the best outcome for UC.

I deeply appreciate the input and support of our loyal fans as well as the tremendous efforts of our teams, coaches, student-athletes and athletic director.



Santa J. Ono
President
 
It actually does say something, it's the first time that I've heard a release from UC where they didn't come out and make it a point to say that they are committed to the Big East. Even the brass can no longer say that with a straight face. The Big East is dead and these guys know it, whether they can do something about it or not remains to be seen. Sounds like Pres Ono is aware of the selling points of this University, so hopefully he's making a push to the powers that be at the ACC or the Big 12 to make sure we stay in a power conference.

No matter what happens with UC's situation the Big East is not dead. The Big East will survive because 24/7 sports cable channels need content. The Big East members, whoever they are, will be able to generate more TV revenue than the other 4 gang of 5 conferences. Each full time Big East member will more than likely get at least $10 million a year in TV revenue with basketball schools getting about $4 million. Compare that to the A-10's new deal of $350,000 per team for the next 8 years A Big East team will more than likely be in one of the 6 BCS Bowl game 80% of the time. The Big East has Madison Square Garden locked up until 2026 for its basketball tourney.
