There are alot of options out there. Airforce, BYU, UNLV, Nevada, Fresno.

Navy is coming on board, I dont see them backing out of their committment. 5 million is alot to not come to the BE(TCU).

Las Vegas is too awesome, could care less about the football program, I'll use any excuse to get back out there!

Nevada, Air Force, Colorado State, Fresno State, Utah State. All would dramatically improve with a move to the Big East, so any of those I would be good with.

Utah state? No.

Navy just reaffirmed their commitment.

The next team most likely to be added, IMO, is Air Force.

Why is everyone looking to the west? If I had my way, Boise and SDSU would be dropped, we try to convince Navy to go for full membership, and look for a full member east of the Mississippi. Notre Dame, Villanova, ECU, Army.

I just think it would add stability to the conference if it was consolidated to east of the Mississippi River (Texas being the exception), and that all the football members were ful members.

Just my 2 cents

First, BOISE is the only marquee football team in the Big East.

Second, having the conference in four different time zones is very attractive to TV.

So, to drop Boise and time zones, would very much hurt the negotiating position of the Big East in the next TV

contract.

According to Air Force's beat writer, they currently aren't interested in joining the BE.

I thought I saw a story the other day about AF joining a few years after Navy. I didn't pay all that much attention to it. Just seemed to be the long term plan.

The article said that Air Force was going to see how Navy did in the Big East and perhaps join after.

Yes, that was it.

    "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."
