Big East forming men's lacrosse league
Syracuse, Providence, Rutgers, St. John's, Villanova, Notre Dame and Georgetown will begin conference play in 2010
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Big East conference is forming a new men's lacrosse league that will include national champion Syracuse.
The league will start competition in the spring of 2010 and will include Syracuse, Providence, Rutgers, St. John's, Villanova, Notre Dame and Georgetown.
The schools will play each other once.
The conference's 16 athletic directors unanimously approved the new league during recent meetings. The conference will apply for an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Syracuse, which won its 10th NCAA title last month, had played as an independent, while the other schools were scattered in other leagues.
