July1. That is the official joining date. Not to mention the official day, BC bails.
Both Marquette and Louisville have countdown clocks. As does the Marquette blog, which also notes that the new/old/whatever logo will be announced today (by the way guys, congrats on Diener going #38 to Orlando)

The Bulls of South Florida football team are already “proud members” of the BE.
Cinci is going all out with Big East day. Lots of free hats being given away. Of slightly lesser value, free football tickets. The festivities will go on all day with concerts, fireworks, Mike Tranghese, but — and this really casts a pall over things — no alcohol.
Finally, and a new addition to the blogroll, the Big East Basketball Blog. Someone else to help track things in the New BE.
