Big East reviews eligibility for former pros returning to college

The Big East has not finalized its ruling on the eligibility of former professional players returning to college, according to a source. This comes after the Big Ten implemented a ban on players who sign with the NFL. As a conference without football, the Big East does not face the same urgency to make a decision. Recent leadership changes, including the upcoming transition to new commissioner Tim Brosnan, may affect the conference's timeline. Meanwhile, eligibility for players from other professional leagues is determined by the NCAA, not individual conferences.
