Oddly worded headline. What I got from the story is that it is unlikely that "all" of the service academies will join the Big East, i.e. two of them may join, but not Army.

What I did not get from the story is that all of the service academies are unlikely to join the Big East.

I felt exactly the same. What I got from that is Army is the only one that is truly out.

Great. The more openings the better for us. Maybe the option of Houston and SMU together comes out aces.
Back off Warchild seriously.

I really hope the service academies decline the offer.

It's looking better than it was last week when TCU trumps our first road win over a ranked team since the Reagan administration by going to the Big 12. We are still walking an incredibly dangerous tightrope. If we get in, hookers and blow for everybody. If we are somehow left out while Boise State, Houston, UCF get in, we're in a bad way. But things are looking better.

If the unfortunate happens, the mods should allow us the courtesy to turn off the profanity censor for a day

Is there no plane tail tracking going on, or have I just not seen it?

If SMU joins BE, we want AFA and Navy. They travel well and eyeballs for TV is high. However, we need to defense the Triple Option.
