If these rumors are indeed true, this is really crushing news. Dell'Omo had a strong vision for this school and, as he has said before, athletics were a huge part. Just a few months ago he was a key figure who orchestrated the cut of seven athletic programs.
To try and make everyone feel a little better, I put a search in on Youtube for "World's saddest song" and this was the fourth one down with over eight million views.

Update, 4pm EST:
Looks like Chris will not be able to run for president, at least not quite yet.
Dell'Omo and RMU announced that he will not be leaving for La Salle and will stay at Robert Morris.
“I wish LaSalle University the very best as their search continues,” said Dell’Omo who has been President at RMU since 2005. “It was gratifying to know that the progress that’s been made here at RMU caught the attention of this institution and led them to invite me into their recruitment process. At this point, I’m glad to get back to work with my great team at RMU to take us to the next level.”

@C_Cappella Sorry, it wasn't really us. We appreciate your willingness to throw your hat in the ring though. We'll keep an eye on you.
