The Big East Conference will invite Boise State, Navy and Air Force for football only and SMU, Houston and Central Florida for all sports. Thursday, the Idaho State Board of Education will meet about Boise State's future athletic plans. The Big East has been planning ways how to separate the league into eastern and western divisions. Temple, Memphis, and BYU are all being considered for the 12th member for football. Memphis, though, with one of the best basketball teams in the country, has one of the worst football programs. Temple might not want to be brought in because it will be sharing the Philadelphia market with Villanova. BYU might just want to remain independent. A source said that there is panic within the MWC and C-USA about possibly losing key members of both leagues to the Big East.

Since the all sports are much weaker in basketball, will the big east bring Xavier, Butler, or Memphis, schools with rich basketball programs?
