Word is the Big East could name its new commissioner within the next 24 hours. We’re hearing two of the frontrunners are current senior associate commissioner John Marinatto and former Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg.

Current commish Mike Tranghese is stepping down in June after 19 years at the helm.

The Big East school presidents are meeting in Philadelphia today and don’t meet again until March, so they could have the announcement either this afternoon or tomorrow. Stay tuned.
