Just skimmed this article. Looks like the catholic schools that do not have football are leaving the Big East to form their own "new basketball conference".
My question is, will the xc and track programs for these schools still compete in the Big East or will all sports programs at these schools compete under the newly formed conference.

The letter from Georgetown president John J. DeGioia announcing the decision implies that these schools are leaving in all sports.
"In the current context of national athletic conference realignment, we believe pursuing a new foundation for our intercollegiate athletics that builds on this tradition of excellence and competition is the best way forward."
I hope they go with something like The Papal Conference
Since there are only going to be 4 schools left, I think the Little East would be a better name.

Well that probably means that Boise State is going to back out on their Big East commitment. Especially if they can talk BYU into going back into the Mountain West (they are apparently trying, as well as trying to get San Diego State to go back). And Doubly Especially since the Big East lost their automatic BCS bid. S'ok. The MWC was a better football conference than the Big East (before BYU, Utah and TCU all left right when Boise State joined. Then it becomes a decent football league again with BSU, Nevada, BYU, San Jose State, Fresno State
Little schools are still scrambling to pickup the crumbs dropped on the floor by the PAC-12 Super Conference Television Network.
I think most coaches will look forward to not having 14+ teams in thier Conference Cross Country and Track meets.
