Apparently, the loyal members of the Big East Conference will now wait until November to decide if they should split into a everything-but-football conference and a separate football-only conference.
NEWARK, N.J. — The Big East hopes to decide by November whether its football-playing schools will split from the non-football programs. Representatives from both groups met Wednesday with commissioner Mike Tranghese to discuss the conference’s future makeup… Among the options being considered: the schools with football programs would depart and form a new league; or football schools would remain in the conference, and possibly expand the federation to 16 teams.
