http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/n ... texpansionAP Source: Big East to invite Boise St, 5 others
PHILADELPHIA (AP)-A person familiar with the decision says the Big East will invite Boise State, Navy and Air Force for football only and SMU, Houston and Central Florida for all sports.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the conference was not ready to announce which schools its members had voted Tuesday to extend invitations to in the upcoming days.
Commissioner John Marinatto declined to give specifics of the Big East’s plan after meeting with the league’s presidents at a Philadelphia hotel. He did say he expected the schools to accept.
He acknowledged the league is moving west and reiterated that Syracuse, Pittsburgh and West Virginia will not be allowed to leave for their new conferences until July 2014.

given the hoopla around our CUSA invite several years ago, i would have to assume this merits some on-campus PR.
And we could just borrow a lot of the Frog BE PR stuff they have left over from a few months ago.
Can we get nd chancellor to suck our [deleted] too

So is there a time line to accept the BE invitation? We don't want to lose out on the BE while waiting for the SEC invitation to get here!
