It's a relaunching of the Big East.
And as I said earlier, I feel like it's almost like we're back to our roots.
We're a basketball centered conference that's going to play all sports.
We've got a great deal with Fox Sports going forward that's really a game changer for us.
We've got the Garden, we've got some great new teams. It's a day of celebration for us.
(Interviewer) What does it mean for your university specifically?
(Father Shanley) Well we were the school that basically founded the Big East.
And it's trials and travails recently have been particularly painful for us.
And I feel like today we've kind of cleared ourselves to go back to what we were when we began.
It's not to go back to the past because the future is going to be different.
But I think we're with a group of schools that share the same values as we do.
Same intellectual aspirations, the same passion for basketball.
So it just feels really good to be with this group of schools for Providence College
and we couldn't be happier going forward.
