The Milwaukee paper mentions a previous report of that there will not be
two divisions, even though the league will have 16 members.  "The Tampa
Tribune reported last week that conference presidents voted not to split
the league into two divisions."

"Big East basketball will be the best conference in the country. It has
the potential to be the best league ever."
