Big East Looks 1,000 Miles West In Expansion Talks - Business Insider
Don't think we get invited to the BigEast any time soon (I wish) but it will probably open up slots in CUSA which we could be of prime interest to!
Go Owls!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Big East conference expansion mtg.
I know without Howard, we don't have a team, a coming on-campus stadium and hopefully, a future in a better conference.
A move up to CUSA would seriously upgrade or schedule for better home attendance, and better recruiting. Of course we would have to upgrade there or become the new Memphis of CUSA.

Re: Big East conference expansion mtg.
The thing I think everyone misses is that it would still take us 8-10 years to bring us up to the consistent level of big east teams. Not sure our fanbase is to a point where we can survive not being successful (although improving) in a BCS conference.
It will eventually be the thing to do and will happen. For those that are fans during that era, it will not be pain-free.
