Big East Baseball 2014

Anyone know (or really care) what the plan is for baseball in the new league? Only four of the "Catholic 7" (Seton Hall, Georgetown, Villanova and St. John's) play baseball, and Butler does not play, so there will only be six baseball playing members of the league. Is that enough to sponsor the sport and have an auto-bid? Are there any "free agent" programs out there who are in conferences that don't sponsor the sport that could join for baseball only.

Not that it's anyone's #1 concern with the new league, that's going to be a brutally awful baseball league.

So, you're saying X should dominate?

Xavier's closing out the season this year against Butler - are they dropping it next year?

Hmm, I was looking at the A-10 standings this morning and don't remember seeing Butler. 7 is a little better. It will still be a bad league (which might work out okay for us).
