The 2012-13 academic year is the 34th in the history of The BIG EAST Conference as the unique consortium marches on competing at the highest level with integrity and sportsmanship.

The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth and continues to make strides in improving the quality and depth of the storied league.

The BIG EAST Conference has been always been driven by lofty goals. The outstanding performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are evidence of the league’s proud tradition of success. The league has always been able to boast that many of its best students are also its best athletes. The 2011-12 year was no different.

In the athletic arena, BIG EAST student-athletes again enjoyed success on the national stage. The Georgetown women’s cross country team captured its first NCAA Championship. The win by the Hoyas marked the third-straight year a BIG EAST team has won the women’s cross country championship, with Villanova winning the past two. The Louisville men’s basketball team advanced to the Final Four in New Orleans. Connecticut field hockey reached the NCAA semifinals, as did the Notre Dame men’s lacrosse team. The Irish women’s basketball team and Syracuse women’s lacrosse team each reached the NCAA finals. USF softball reached the Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, Okla., for the first time in program history.

The BIG EAST placed two teams in the NCAA Women’s Final Four for the third time in the last four years as Connecticut joined Notre Dame in Denver, with the Fighting Irish advancing to the national title game for the second-straight year.

BIG EAST student-athletes won five NCAA championships. Sheila Reid won her second-straight NCAA Women’s Cross Country title. Syracuse hurdler Jarret Eaton won the 60-meter hurdle championship in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championship. Notre Dame won the distance medley relay at the same championship. Georgetown’s Emily Infeld won the 3,000-meter run. Carlos Almeida of Louisville won the 200-yard breaststroke at the NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships.

BIG EAST football maintained its national profile as a competitively balanced group. Three BIG EAST teams won bowl games, while the BIG EAST representative in the Bowl Championship Series won its bowl game for the fourth time in the last seven years- a streak that includes wins against the ACC, Big 12 and SEC champions.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing – the University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, the University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida.

BIG EAST institutions reside in 18 of the nation’s top 50 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain more than one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. The BIG EAST will welcome UCF, Houston, Memphis, SMU and Temple in all sports in 2013-14. Tulane comes aboard for the 2014-15 season. Temple football joined the league in 2012, with Boise State and San Diego State joining in 2013 East Carolina in 2014 and Navy in 2015.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 32 national championships in six different sports and 137 student-athletes have won individual national titles through 2011-12.

BIG EAST basketball squads have captured 11 titles in the last 13 years. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. The BIG EAST placed three men’s basketball teams in the Final Four in 1985, the only time this has occurred in NCAA history.

Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. The conference currently crowns champions in 24 sports.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercol legiate athlet ics and academics.

Any successful organization has had the good fortune to have outstanding leadership. The BIG EAST primarily was the brainchild of Dave Gavitt, who was the conference’s first Commissioner. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first

full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. John Marinatto was the third commissioner of the BIG EAST, serving from 2009-2012, after seven years as the conference’s senior associate commissioner. Mike Aresco became the conference’s fourth commissioner in 2012.

The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed longstanding relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC.

BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past nine years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball.

The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 student-athletes.

PROVIDENCE,R.I.– USF has been tabbed the 2013 BIG EAST Softball preseason favorite by the league’s 13 head coaches. USF earned seven first-place votes and 134 overall points in the coaches’ poll. Last season, the Bulls finished with a 50-12 overall record and 17-5 BIG EAST mark while finishing third in the regular-season standings. USF reached the Women’s College World Series in 2012 and returns three All-BIG EAST selections from last year’s team, shortstop Kourtney Salvarola, first baseman Stephanie Medina and pitcher Sara Nevins. Salvarola, a first team selection, hit .407 with 14 RBI in BIG EAST play last season. Nevins, a second team selection, ranked third in the nation with a 1.12 ERA and led the BIG EAST in wins (31) and strikeouts (336). NotreDame, the 2012 BIG EAST runner-up, received one first-place vote and 129 points to rank second in the poll. The Fighting Irish finished second in the BIG EAST last season with a 16-3 record and 40-16 overall mark and return four All-BIG EAST selections including the 2012 Pitcher of the Year, junior Laura Winter. Winter went 13-2 in league play with 12 complete games, four shutouts and a 1.21 ERA. She ranked second in the BIG EAST and 16th in the nation in strikeouts, recording 287. Joining her are three 2012 All-BIG EAST Second Team selections: catcher/utility Amy Buntin, shortstop Chloe Saganowich and rightfielder Kelsey Thornton. Notre Dame has finished conference play in the top-two spots in each of the previous four seasons. Ranking third in the preseason poll is reigning BIG EAST Champion Louisville with four first-place votes and 128 points. The Cardinals claimed the BIG EAST regular-season and championship titles in 2012. They finished with a 55-5 overall mark and a 20-2 conference record. The 2012 BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year loses two All-BIG EAST First Team selections from a year ago but returns seven all-conference selections. Catcher/utility Taner Fowler and first baseman Alicja Wolny were first-team selections last season while second baseman Katie Keller and pitcher Caralisa Connell were named to the second team. Three third-team selections, including the BIG EAST Championship Most Outstanding Player, outfielder Jordan Trimble, return for 2013. Joining Trimble are outfielder Jennifer Esteban and shortstop Whitney Arion. DePaul recorded one first-place vote and 117 points to place fourth in the preseason poll. Since joining the BIG EAST in 2006, the Blue Demons have captured three regular-season titles. They finished fifth in the league last season with a 14-8 record and 36-22 overall mark. DePaul returns pitcher/first baseman Kirsten Verdun. As a sophomore, Verdun was named a second team All-America selection and was a unanimous first team All-BIG EAST selection in 2012. First baseman Mary Connolly returns for her second season with the Blue Demons after being named a third team all-conference pick as a freshman. Syracuse finished fifth in the preseason poll with 96 points. The Orange tied for third in the final regular season standings last year with a 17-5 record and 43-16 overall mark.

The Scarlet Knights finished 26-28 (9-13 BIG EAST) last year. Pitcher Alyssa Landrith headlines the top returners from 2012.

Both players enter their sophomore seasons in 2013. With 71 points, Pittsburgh earned the No. 7 slot in this year’s poll. The Panthers went 8-14 in BIG EAST action a year ago with a 26-26 overall record.

• St. John’s is coming off one of its most successful campaigns in schoolhistoryin2012,whereitreachedthesemifinalsoftheBIGEASTChampionshipforthefirsttimesince1980.

• The 2013 squad will have a much different look than the team that set a school record for home runs with 45 in 2012. The entire pitching staff is returning, bolstered by current junior Ashley Beza who threw 160 strikeouts in 2012, the most by a Red Storm pitcher in three seasons and the sixth-most all-time.

• Leading the offensewill be a trio of power-hitting infielders insenior Chrissy Montez, junior Jackie Reed and sophomore Erin Burner, who combined for 44 percent of St. John’s home runs and 46 percent of the team’s RBI in 2012.

• The 2013 Red Storm will be relying on the talented underclassmen recruited by head coach Amy Kvilhaug and her staff as St. John’s will feature one of the youngest rosters in the BIG EAST with 11 underclassmen on the 18-player roster.

• St. John’s will earn national exposure in 2013 as 10 of the Red Storm’s home games will be broadcast on ESPN3 as part of the agreement between the “Worldwide Leader In Sports” and the St. John’s Television Network.
