College football industry sources said San Diego State officials informed the Big East it will need some time before determining whether to join the league as a football-only member.

"They might not be in a hurry," a source said.

The Big East is looking at San Diego State as a football-only member after the Big East decided to "move on" from negotiations with the Cougars after BYU wanted to retain its television rights for its home football games.

Sources said San Diego State "is still very excited about the opportunity" to join the Big East, but estimated it could take anywhere from "two to three weeks" to "a few months."

The Big East is pursuing the Aztecs because Boise State has said it wants a guarantee of a Western partner before joining the league.

UCF, Houston and SMU are prepared to join the league but want to join in a group with Boise State. So those three schools are waiting on Boise State while the Broncos are waiting on a Western partner - either San Diego State or Air Force - and Navy is waiting until those other schools join before it commits.

The Big East loses credibility by the day.

Keep in mind though that Houston may be in the Top 5 and Boise State may still be # 7 in the Nation when this is announced and keep in mnd that most fans in the country have no idea this is going on behind the scenes. Its still a big deal. We have to root for Houston to win on Saturday....its a big deal for the Big East to have thesetwo top ranked BCS schools coming into their Conference. I am guessing that the no Big East basketball issue maybe reared its ugly head for SDSU as maybe they now have a problem getting into an all sports conference?....will they have a home?

He's also the first person I know who actually uses Bing. I'm impressed and stunned at the same time.
