Article says that the Big East will be looking to grow to 10 football playing schools. I would like to see:

1) TCU

2) Houston

As official as it can get.

Straight from the Big East website:

http://www.bigeast.org/News/tabid/435/Article/215208/BIG-EAST-Approves-Process-To-Evaluate-Terms-and-Conditions-For-Expansion.aspx

PHILADELPHIA - The BIG EAST Conference submitted the results of its extensive self-analysis and evaluation of the college athletics environment today at its annual Conference Board of Directors meeting.  Based on those results, the BIG EAST presidents agreed that the interests of each of the conference’s 16 member institutions would be served by increasing the number of Bowl Subdivision football-playing members to 10.  They unanimously approved the process to evaluate the terms and conditions for potential expansion candidates. 

"Today, our Board of Directors affirmed a set of key strategic initiatives, including expansion, designed to enhance membership stability and maximize our value," stated Commissioner John Marinatto.

Marinatto said the conference will refrain from commenting further on the expansion process.

- SO NOT A RUMOR -

Per Stewart Mandel and ESPN Big East Blogger.

"Big East announcement: The presidents have agreed to expand to 10 football teams, will begin evaluating candidates."

You aren't looking in the long term. TCU could come in immediately as the 9th member. Villanova then has a few years to build their program at the 1 A level before joining the league.

With TCU in early you fix the scheduling for an even 4 home/4 road in big East play.

Grabbing the Philly and Dallas/Ft. Worth tv markets would be big opportunity to get the Big East tv network off the ground.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
