Sports in New Big East - Men

If Butler / Xavier / Creighton are indeed the schools added, here is a breakdown of the sports in which the New Big East teams participate.

Interesting that Richmond is the only one of the four that plays Lacrosse, and Richmond has 9 mens sports (the other 3 all have 7), more than all but G-Town and Villanova in the C7.

5 for Lacrosse is 1 better than the ACC has now. In a sport where there are only 14 games in the season we can certainly make that work though I'd welcome more schools to join us.

I wonder if they've had very preliminary, informal talks that address trying to get a somewhat uniform line-up of non revenue sports so the league is more self-contained, if you will, with the assumption that the schools will have a higher revenue stream in the new Big East.

Added Note: I'm surprised Seton Hall does not have track - I thought they used to have a good program way back when.
