Since Rutgers is the only current or future full member of The American that sponsors men's lacrosse, it will remain in Big East lacrosse until the Big Ten begins lacrosse competition in the 2. Women's[edit]The Big East has sponsored women's lacrosse since the 2.

Georgetown and former member Syracuse have dominated, winning ten championships (including one shared one) as of the 2. Cross country[edit]The Big East Conference first crowned men's cross country champions in 1. During the history of the original Big East, six different women's teams won Big East Championships: Boston College, Georgetown, Notre Dame, Providence, Villanova and West Virginia. On the men's side six teams won Big East Championships as well: Georgetown, Louisville, Notre Dame, Providence, Syracuse and Villanova.[6.

In both the 2. 00. Villanova women captured the NCAA Cross Country Team Championship as they have largely dominated the Big East over the years with numerous Conference Titles. Led by Sheila Reid, a junior from New Market, Ont. Wildcats captured their second straight NCAA Division I women's cross country championship. Reid sprinted past Georgetown's Emily Infeld and Oregon's Jordan Hasay in the final 2. It was the Villanova Women's ninth NCAA Team Championship overall in Cross Country. The Wildcats captured six consecutive NCAA Championships from 1.

Notes: 1 For certain high- profile home games, Cincinnati uses the Cincinnati Bengals' Paul Brown Stadium. In 2. 01. 0, Cincinnati hosted the University of Oklahoma at Paul Brown Stadium.

In 2. 01. 1, Cincinnati used Paul Brown Stadium as an alternate home field for games against Louisville and West Virginia. Late in 2. 00. 6, Rutgers added approximately 3,0. In 2. 00. 8, Rutgers began a stadium expansion project which is expected to increase capacity to over 5. The premium seating is projected to be ready for the 2. The stadium is also expected to receive a new name as part of the financing package depends on a name sponsorship.

St. John's men generally play their Big East home schedule in Madison Square Garden and their non- conference home schedule on campus at Carnesecca Arena. In 2. 00. 5–0. 6, St. John's played only one non- conference game at MSG and one Big East game on campus. For Syracuse basketball games in the Carrier Dome, the court is laid out on one end of the field and stands are erected beside it. This makes the Carrier Dome the largest on- campus venue for college basketball in the nation. For certain high- profile home games, Villanova uses the Wells Fargo Center, and previously used the Spectrum.

In 2. 00. 5–0. 6, Villanova played three home games at the Wells Fargo Center and the rest on campus at The Pavilion. In 2. 00. 6, the Wells Fargo Center was also a first- round site for the NCAA Tournament. Under NCAA rules, a venue is not considered a home court unless a school plays four or more regular- season games there; this enabled Villanova to play its first two tournament games at the Wells Fargo Center (but Villanova was not considered the host school for that sub- region – the Atlantic 1. Conference was). This situation occurred again in 2. Villanova playing (and winning) its first two tournament games at Wells Fargo Center. See also[edit]References[edit]^"2.
