The Notre Dame Fighting Irish Men's Basketball team represents the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, Indiana, United States. The team plays in the intercollegiate basketball program of the NCAA Division I.
The Fighting Irish joined the Atlantic Coast Conference of NCAA Division I on July 1, 2013, after announcing their move on September 12, 2012. Prior to this, Notre Dame was a non-football member of the Big East Conference, joining in 1995.
The Big East Conference is a collegiate athletic conference that competes in NCAA Division I across 10 men's sports and 12 women's sports. The conference was formed in 1979 by Dave Gavitt, a basketball coach at Providence College, who wanted to assemble an east coast basketball-centric collegiate athletic conference.

The Big East Conference
The original Big East Conference was founded in 1979 by Providence College basketball coach Dave Gavitt, who wanted to create an east coast basketball-centric collegiate athletic conference. The core of the Big East was formed when Providence, St. John's, Georgetown, and Syracuse invited Seton Hall, Connecticut (UConn), Holy Cross, Rutgers, and Boston College (BC) to join. Holy Cross and Rutgers initially declined, but BC, Seton Hall, and UConn accepted, and Villanova and Pittsburgh joined soon after. The "high point" of the original conference was the 1985 NCAA tournament, in which three of its teams made it to the Final Four, with Villanova ultimately winning the national championship.
In 1991, the Big East began sponsoring football, adding Miami as a full member and Rutgers, Temple, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia as football-only members. In 1995, Notre Dame joined as a non-football member. However, the unusual structure of the Big East, with "football" and "non-football" schools, led to instability in the conference. The Big East was significantly impacted during the conference realignment of 2005 and the early 2010s.
In December 2012, the "'Catholic Seven' members of the original Big East Conference—DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, Seton Hall, St. John's, and Villanova—announced their decision to split from the football-playing schools and form a new conference focused on basketball. In March 2013, they purchased the Big East Conference name, logos, basketball records, and the rights to the Big East Men's Basketball Tournament. The football-playing members of the old Big East formed the American Athletic Conference (AAC), which is the legal successor of the original conference. Both conferences share 1979 as their founding date.
On its launch date of 1 July 2013, three more schools joined the new Big East Conference: Butler, Creighton, and Xavier. In July 2020, the University of Connecticut (UConn) also rejoined the conference from the AAC, becoming the only member with a varsity football team in the top-level Division I FBS.
