PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Big East Conference has promoted John Marinatto to commissioner. He replaces Mike Tranghese, who announced his retirement in June after 18 years as commissioner.
Marinatto is currently the league's senior associate commissioner and he'll begin his new job July 1. He becomes the league's third commissioner.
The appointment was announced Wednesday by Rutgers president Richard McCormick.
Marinatto oversees the conference's finances and has been with Big East for seven seasons. Before joining the conference he was athletic director at Providence College.
Under Tranghese, the conference added South Florida, Louisville, Cincinnati as football schools after losing Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College to the Atlantic Coast Conference. DePaul and Marquette were also added for basketball.
