"Big East pilfers best of the non-BCS as the Mtn/C-USA merger becomes a reality"
Quote:Conference expansion is revving up again and there could be definitive movement before the day is done.

Conference USA and the Mountain West will hold a joint press conference this evening to announce a "Football Association." Even though both conferences say their entire membership - 22 total members - will be joining the association, it's unclear whether that will actually be the case come next week.

According to CBSSports.com and the Associated Press, the Big East is set to invite Boise State, Air Force, Central Florida and Navy as part of its expansion plan. The conference is also considering invites for Houston, SMU and Temple. Boise State, Air Force and Navy would all be football-only members while Central Florida, Houston, SMU and Temple (if Villanova approves its entrance) would be a member in all sports.

If Houston & SMU are invited that would make 12 with no room for Temple or ECU unless The Big East went to 14.

We should just go to 14 with all of the above.

I think the conferene should so if anybody else leaves in a few years it won't be such a blow but if you do that, go to 14 you HAVE to split.

12 allows them to stay with the bbonly schools in yet another attempt at hybrid....which has so far not worked

Why stop at Cali? I heard the Univ. of Tokyo has a really good men's volleyball team...
