The Sandusky thing happened and this story just sort of dissappeared. I was wondering when it would resurface.
Big East is adding Boise State(fball only), San Diego State(fball only), SMU, UCF and Houston .
This has major implications to the valley since both Boise and SDSU are a part of the challenge and will now have to find a conference for their other sports. This guts the MWC which leaves them at 7 (Fresno and Nevado join next year with New Mexico, Air Force, Colorado St., UNLV and Wyoming). This also guts the CUSA and drops them to 9 members.
Navy is expected to join the big east as well for fball only once some loose ends are tied up.
