BIG EAST institutions are in eight of the nation’s 36 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, Hartford/New Haven, Cincinnati and Milwaukee. In addition to Marquette, BIG EAST members are Butler University, the University of Connecticut, Creighton University, DePaul University, Georgetown University, Providence College, St. John’s University, Seton Hall University, Villanova University and Xavier University.
