RE: How Creighton joined the Big East
Fr Lannon wasn't even aware that Dr Esteban's daughter was attending CU. LOL but he certainly should be applauded for his proactive approach.

From the article:

"Lannon made a round of calls to the Catholic 7 presidents just to make sure they were aware of Creighton's interest.

He phoned DePaul's Holtschneider, talking up the success of CU's basketball program and the energy of its fan base. The two men knew each other well, having gotten their doctorates together at Harvard.

Lannon was less familiar with other presidents. In fact, he was a little embarrassed to discover that the president of Seton Hall had a daughter who was a first-year medical student at Creighton. Shame on us for not knowing that, Lannon said. He checked to make sure she was doing OK."
