Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b The Big East did not crown an official champion until 1993 when full league play began.
  2. ^ a b c The season began with controversies over an investigation into violations of NCAA regulations and school policy concerning coach Flood's improper contacting of a professor concerning a student's academic status; and the arrests and dismissal of several football players on violent felony charges connected to an April 2015 home invasion robbery in New Brunswick. Coach Flood was suspended for three games after the investigation found improper contact was made and Norries Wilson served as interim.
  3. ^ a b c On September 29, 2019, Ash was fired after four games. Nunzio Campanile was the interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
