All 19 East Carolina sports on move
East Carolina will join the soon-to-be-renamed Big East as an all-sports member, instead of just for football as originally planned.
East Carolina had already been set to join Cincinnati, Connecticut, South Florida and the rest of the Big East football schools in 2014. But with the recent split of the football and basketball schools, the football side is giving up the name Big East and needed to add more members for all sports.
Commissioner Mike Aresco called East Carolina "a valuable addition" in a statement announcing the move Wednesday.

The release said that in 2014, the conference will consist of East Carolina, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Houston, Memphis, Southern Methodist, South Florida, Temple and Tulane. ESPN reported Tuesday that current Conference USA member Tulsa is expected to be invited to join the league.

In this case, if reports are accurate, TU's decision to leave the crumbling pile of rubble that is Conference USA for the artist formerly known as the Big East is the right move for the Golden Hurricane.
The soon-to-be renamed league will now have 11 schools, nine of which used to reside in Conference USA. Tulsa, East Carolina, Tulane, Cincinnati, South Florida, UCF, Houston, SMU and Memphis all spent time in C-USA, while only Temple and UConn did not.
