Following several years of instability, culminating in a split of the conference along football lines, the seven member schools that did not sponsor Division I FBS football purchased the "Big East" name and formed a new Big East in July 2013. The FBS schools that had not moved to other conferences by that time joined with several new members and reorganized as the American Athletic Conference, retaining the charter of the original Big East. Format and seeding The tournament used a double-elimination format, with the field divided into two brackets. The winners of each bracket faced off in a single championship game. Seton Hall claimed the second seed over Pittsburgh and St. John's took the sixth seed over Notre Dame by tiebreaker. Team W L Pct.
