Marquette exploring options, Catholic League or Big East-Big 12 merger?

That’s after Syracuse and Pitt said they would leave the Big East Conference for the ACC and two other public institutions, Connecticut and Rutgers and reportedly looking to get out as well. The New York Daily News said officials from the Golden Eagles would discuss their options with Georgetown, Saint John’s, Providence, Villanova, Notre Dame, Seton Hall, and DePaul.
