Boise, SDSU, SMU, UCF, Houston......good for football. Good for basketball? At least we will hold on to the hoops we have. Have fun, new AD.

I can't imagine they are all joining in both sports. Any word on that?
Unconfirmed, Boise and SDSU, football only. SMU, Houston, UCF, all sports. SMU! Finally, someone for DePaul to beat up on!
I would really like to see the addition of UCF. Second largest university in the nation.

And about to get hammered by the NCAA for violations in multiple sports.
hopefully, boises snub by the BCS further pushes them towards joining the BE.
They are definitely more deserving of the bid than WVU, speaking of WVU i hope they enjoy playing in a large bowl for the last time ...... ever

More on the expansion announcement.
What type of violations for UCF? I was unaware of this.
anyone in the Houston area think the Phi Slamma Jamma era could come back? or does Houston have no chance?

With about as passionate a fanbase as UWM.

Nothing's impossible, but it is unlikely. Texas and A&M are much more serious about basketball than they were 30 years ago, so it is much harder for UH. Their coach is not very dynamic which is needed at a place like it. They have not won a NCAA tournament game since 1984 so the current students have no memory of the Coogs be great. Also, as a commuter school in a pro sports town they have a hard time getting media attention. Maybe more money from a BE contract will help the whole program. I hope so, they were team that got me into basketball.
yeah I mean they have a 5* coming in so if maybe a BEast schedule could give them a boost
Andy Katz sounds like he wants the Big East to fall apart, hes a putz!

Well, UL's fball coaches are telling current recruits that they will eventually be playing in the B12.
