1) Memphis, never, the school is the armpit of acadmemics (we already have Louisville, isn't that enough) 2)Navy would never join a conference (see Army leaving C-USA)...this is not considerable 3)Bowling Green - see Memphis 4) UAB - possibly academics are getting better, school spends on athletics, good size TV market (30 something) 5) Miami (OH) - best school academically (besides Navy), realistically they are committed to the MAC, but if a BCS bid could be grasp they might. Town is SMALL 6) Marshall - heh, no TV market, academics suck 7)Toledo - Possibly, decent school in all aspects, founded MAC, decent market TV wise 8) ECU - would like this if they get their football program in shape, once again small TV market 9) UCF...Big East is built on TV markets, Orlando is 19th...clearly the biggest of the "realistic teams" decent academics The Big East has built its new league on TV markets Louisville, Tampa, Cincinnati, etc. It's their biggest argument when it comes up for BCS reconsideration, no doubt in my mind UAB, Memphis, or UCF will be the 9th team if they add one because of TV markets. My gut feeling would lie with UCF...but you never know.
