When is the rivals report that tells us there will be an announcement later this week or early next week?

I've been enjoying those the last 3 weeks.

AFA and the Penn State scandal really blew up the timeline on BE expansion.

So did good news. Waiting for BYU to get their paperwork in order is worth it.

Penn state garbage took all headlines last week. it wouldn't surprise me to hear an official announcement this week with ESPN Gameday being at the UH/SMU game. perfect timing.

They're waiting on Dutch and the 1st& 10 to create a 'big east burger' so they will feel like they belong in Texas. :lol:

On ESPN Game Day, does the Big East announce its Western Division?

Air Force Falcons
Boise State Broncos
Brigham Young Cougars
Houston Cougars
Louisville Cardinals
SMU Mustangs

with Navy and UCF going to the East Division to join Cincinnati, Connecticut, Rutgers and USF. If U of L insists on staying in the East, then Navy is a western team.

BTW, the West would be a tough Division.

(Side note: If Big East goes really big, then Temple, East Carolina, San Diego State, Fresno State, Hawaii and Memphis are candidates for a 14 or 16 school FB conference.)
