NEW YORK -- Highlighted by the celebration of the league’s 40th anniversary, BIG EAST leaders held a series of meetings in the last 10 days to reflect on the past, monitor the present and plan for the future. The stretch began with the conference’s annual summer meetings in Ponte Vedra, FL and concluded with a regularly scheduled meeting of BIG EAST Presidents in Providence, R.I.
On May 29th, Commissioner Val Ackerman hosted an evening reception in Providence, R.I., the league’s headquarters until 2013, to celebrate the BIG EAST’s founding in 1979 and its enduring prominence as a Division I conference.
