Message: [QUOTE="dvegas, post: 5075176, member: 2590"] There were Big East Championship Men's swim meets held at UConn (dump of a pool) in the 1979-80 and 1980-81 seasons (before my time). Moved to Syracuse for the 1981-82 season, Villanova was definitely a participant (still men only). Then Pitt (and women) were added for the 1982-83 season, and the championships held there for many years (and dominated by Pitt). I think the rule was you needed to sponsor 5 sports to be a conference. Cheapest way to do that (beyond Hoops) was X-Country, Indoor Track, Outdoor Track and Swimming. [/QUOTE]
