I will start off by saying that I do not think this will matter to Louisville when it happens, but since we are currently in the Big East, it is still news.

Tulane and East Carolina will be joining the Big East. Yes, the Green Wave and Pirates that we thought we left behind in C-USA are chasing us again. They will both join in 2014, with Tulane joining in all sports and ECU as a football-only member.

That would put the Big East at 13 schools, with 9 being former Conference USA members, 2 former Mountain West schools, and 1 former school from the MAC.

Like I said, I honestly don’t believe this will even matter to UofL. I won’t say more than that right now because I really can’t. I just have a lot of confidence
