Homer alert!

Today, Villanova sent a survey to alumni asking them for their opinions on a move to the Big East conference for football. Perhaps this video, which was released on Friday, should have come with it.

Simple sentences aside, they broke down all that a move to the Big East would entail- citing possible negative press (read: football players get in trouble) and performance (read: they might suck) as reasons why a move might not be the best idea. The video also says that, not surprisngly, the most likely game facility would be PPL in Chester. Insert joke here about a bunch of Villanova kids invading Chester.

Villanova would also be forced to build a $35 million practice facility and open up 22 more women's sports scholarships to comply with Title IX (read: paying for the education of 22 additional students who won't generate a dollar for the school).

It's a tad, um, dry, but is quite possibly the best use ever of social media to inform a fan base of a decision-making process. Facsinating look inside the business of sports, too.
