Orlando Sentinel: UCF to accept C-USA invite

UCF will accept all-sports invite into Conference USA

UCF will receive and accept an all-sports invitation to Conference USA today, multiple sources in the Golden Knights' football program confirmed.

C-USA Commissioner Britton Banowsky told UCF he would not issue an invitation until after the Big East's planned 2 p.m. announcement that it was bringing in five C-USA schools --- South Florida, Louisville, Cincinnati, DePaul and Marquette.

Shortly after the Big East's unveiling in New York, UCF President John Hitt will accept C-USA's offer after informing the school's two current leagues, the Mid-American Conference and the Atlantic Sun. UCF's acceptance will come later today. The school will have a news conference Wednesday on campus.

I'm glad they are coming to C-USA. They feel they have been snubbed since USF is going to the BE and they aren't.

OK, the C-USA Eastern Div is covered. What about the contingency plans for the West? Does La Tech replace TCU if the frogs bolt?

La Tech would be my guess.
