Administration executives from the league's 10 basketball-playing schools met but apparently did not decide whether to accept Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Temple and Rutgers as all-sports members.
A non-decision was not a complete surprise, however, because presidents of some schools were unable to attend.
"After much discussion, the [chief executive officers] concluded it would be appropriate to return to their respective campuses to further study the issue," read a statement issued by the Big East. "The CEOs will meet again in the near future and have agreed not to comment further."

In addition to carrying the 7:30 p.m. game on Home Team Sports, Cox Cable will show the game free of charge on WCOX (Channel 9).
\ In Lexington, Virginia Commonwealth (2-2) scored four runs in the top of the ninth inning to rally for a 9-7 victory over VMI (2-2) at Patchin Field. Louie Napoleon led the Keydets' offense, going 4-for-5 with a double, a triple and two RBI.
