Basically says, they're trying to decide whether to go back to just a hoops conference or backfill on football. Their primary football targets would appear to be AFA and Navy. But they noted that UConn is eyeing the ACC, Louisville is eyeing the Big XII and TCU is thinking of backing out. Mentioned UH, UCF and ECU as possible candidates, not SMU. If we beat TCU and UCF what would that do for our credibility this year!
