BYU would be fantastic, especially as a football only member. Definitely bring more to the table than Louisville

BYU is an absolute game changer. Getting them would make the Big East Western Division very fun. SMU BYU Houston Boise State Air Force Cincinnati All very respectable programs who have had recent success on the field. I like it.
Back off Warchild seriously.

BYU could also add to lobbying power to keep BCS status, great team to add overall. We could be playing them in the Armed Forces Bowl this year.

But when you are a BCS school, you have to do it classy. Keep them on the schedule until the August before the game, then buy them out.

Army has already been offered, probably the one program more concerned with building back their program than making more money. If the room is there, give them a few more good years on the field and they should join

This would be an absolutely fantastic turn of events should all of the stars line up, as in: The Western wing of the Big East (if BYU is included) would be comprised of: Boise State, Air Force, BYU, Houston, SMU and Cincinnati. The Eastern division would be comprised of: Connecticut, Rutgers, Central Florida, South Florida, West Virginia or Louisville and Navy. Mustang Fans, get your popcorn ready !

And we'll never have to worry about any of our division opponents needing more than 2,000 seats at Ford.
