While we were on location at St. Francis tonight for the Terriers' loss to Quinnipiac, the latest details in the Big East separation scenario emerged in this piece from ESPN's Brett McMurphy, Andy Katz and Dana O'Neil. Long story short, the seven basketball schools in the Big East (St. John's, Seton Hall, Marquette, Villanova, Providence, DePaul and Georgetown) are likely to keep the Big East name and trademarks, as well as add Butler and Xavier to form a nine-team league that will expand to ten, and eventually twelve in the future.
