Answer

The Big East Conference, an athletic conference in the United States, experienced significant realignment during the mid-2000s. In 2005, as several long-time members announced their departure, the conference also welcomed a new addition: the University of South Florida (USF). USF, located in Tampa, Florida, became the first school from the state to join the Big East and brought with it strong athletic programs, particularly in football and men's basketball.
