Catholic 7 schools will keep Big East name, expect to begin new league this fall, sources tell @ESPN
Joining the Catholic 7 schools -- DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall, and Villanova -- in the new "Big East" this fall will be Xavier and Butler, sources said.
Xavier and Butler have not formally withdrawn from the Atlantic 10. To exit the A-10 with less than a year's notice would cost each school $2 million, Katz reported.
While competing with as few as nine members in 2013-14, the Catholic 7 schools are expected to add Creighton, Dayton and St. Louis in 2014 for a 12-team league

St Louis U will be able to continue their dominance of Butler in the Big Priest.

Any conference with Butler, Georgetown, Nova and Xavier is light years better than C-USA who only has one program on that level

Georgetown, Nova, & Xavier aren't in the conference anymore. And its now only slightly better than the CUSA, if Houston & SMU leave for the Mt. West who knows.
