2017 Big East Baseball Schedule

Latest Update on 12/29/2016 (Only Creighton has not released their schedule)

The fall is when lots of college baseball teams release their schedules. The Big East is not known for baseball prowess,much to my dismay. One of the primary ways to improve your conference's strength and perception, is to simply schedule better as a conference. This is why I have an interest in Big East scheduling. This is why I have gone through schedules this year and last. This is the first year I've done anything like this though. As of December 4, 2016, four Big East clubs have released their schedules: St. John's, Xavier, Butler, and Georgetown. Three have not: Creighton (disappointing), Seton Hall, and Villanova.

Here are links to the four released schedules.

St. John's
Xaver
Butler
Georgetown

For the other teams, I have figured out a majority of their schedules due to 2017 opponents releasing their schedules. Links will be added gradually as they take a bit of time. However, if you, the reader would like to verify any that I haven't linked at this time, all I did was go the opposing school's baseball page, and clicked on the schedule link. At this time some schools are still "defaulting" to their 2016 schedule page. So you may have to look for a drop down menu with the year, sometimes it is simply labeled "archive."

The Big East conference games for games where both schools have not released their schedules, I did do some legwork. In short, I "Sudoku'd" the Big East Conference Schedule using the games that have been released by the four schools. There are seven Big East baseball schools, which means every week during conference play, one team has "bye" week. Most teams schedule a non-conference weekend series, but some do not.

Here are the unofficial and incomplete 2017 baseball schedules for Seton Hall, Creighton, and Villanova.

29 of Seton Hall's non-conference games have been released by their 2017 Opponents with 4 more games known to be in the Tony Gwynn Classic. Add 18 conference games to bring the total to 51 known dates.
