They been planning this for 6 months. Remaining BE schools will keep the name. They are leaving so they won't take the BE name with them. I am guessing BE needs to form a new all sports league. UCONN will be here until a better offer comes along.
The Golden Eagles will join six other former members of the Big East: Georgetown, St. John's, Providence, DePaul, Seton Hall and Villanova. Butler and Xavier could leave the Atlantic 10 to join the new unnamed league.
Creighton, Virginia Commonwealth, Dayton or St. Louis could become the 10th team, or the conference could begin play with 12 teams if three schools vying for the 10th spot are all worthy candidates.
