The Big East Conference formally admitted five new members today: the University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and University of South Florida. All five universities will begin Big East competition in the 2005-06 academic year.

The league had announced that the five new institutions had accepted conference membership on Nov. 4, 2003. With 16 members formally in place, The Big East has become the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

Sure is I want to see how UC/USF grow the most now that they can tell recruit they are "BCS". I don't want UCF to join big East cause it may hurt USF's advantage and growth :D

Now is the time for all the talk to cease and the action to begin. A healthy competition among us will help us grow as long as we remember we grow as a unit. How does the Kentucky State motto go, United we stand, Divided we fall.
