UCF, Houston, SMU, Boise State and San Diego State have officially accepted invitations to the Big East. Huge day for those 5 programs.
BYU is stalling everything in this Big East expansion round. BYU has leverage and the school knows it. The Big East desperately wants BYU and will ultimately give them what they want. But, BYU is starting to piss off the other schools waiting to join which could pressure the Big East to move on to San Diego State if no progress is made.
The Big East meeting is over and they will invite the following: Houston, UCF, SMU for all sports and Boise State, Air Force, Navy for football-only.
Pitino lobbying for the Big East to add Memphis and Temple? That's fine and I get it from a basketball point of view, but the league will absolutely fall apart if they don't get some quality football schools. Memphis and Temple are far from quality football schools.
UCF's Big East invite coming next week per ESPN and every other source in college football.
Big East Presidents to discuss expansion candidates Friday morning. Candidates include ECU, UCF, and Temple.
I can't believe UCF didn't get in the Big East because USF was afraid. That played a big part in why Pittsburgh left the Big East.
