it is contingent upon Navy and AFA accepting bid to join. I posted this in another thread, but I felt it deserved its own, because SMU is not mentioned in this report.

Well, I am a little concerned. It seems Temple may still be in the mix. Don't think this is over by a long shot.

The guy who wrote that BR article should be taxed for breathing with a thought process like that. I bet he plays the lotto.

Last paragraph


The league also is targeting Houston and SMU as potential all-sports members to get to 12 football members. If the Big East lost any schools to the Big 12 or other conferences, the next likely candidates the Big East would pursue would be Temple and East Carolina.
