Navy, Maryland and Penn State were in the Big East?

No, but they are between Virginia Tech and the New England region. What I meant (but didn't state clearly) is that they extended the definition of Northeast to be the states that represented the original Big East football conference on north.

From my New England perspective (which is skewed compared to people from other parts of the country) I draw the line of northeast at Pennsylvania. Once you go past Pennsylvania and New Jersey you aren’t in the northeast anymore. You’re mid Atlantic and mid west…

It’s called the Mason Dixon line.

Functionally for college sports it's the northeast. The line might make sense for mounting a military campaign in the 1860s.
