On Thursday, eight long days after the first domino fell, the Big East finally got around to making something resembling a decision regarding fall sports in the league. There will be no non-conference action for any of the conference’s fall sports, which includes men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s cross country for Marquette. For cross country, this means that they will have no competition other than the league championships, if in fact that goes off as planned. The decision also includes field hockey for the league, but MU doesn’t sponsor that sport.
