A source close to the situation indicated that a Big East invitation could be delivered by the end of the month and possibly as early as next week. TU has been a member of Conference USA since 2005. If the university accepts a Big East offer, the membership would apply to all Golden Hurricane sports and likely would take effect with the start of the 2014 football season.
If TU does change conferences, the university would be required to pay an exit fee to C-USA. The amount of such a fee has not yet been calculated by the conference or TU officials.

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Wow, one of the smallets D1 schhols and of that huge Tulsa TV market huh. But it does give closer travel partner nor SMU and Houston to try and keep them happy and inline with the conference.
I'd be suprised to see them invite Tulsa, not sure what if anything the BE gains there.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

This happened months ago. Tulsa is already a member of the AAC (former BE).

That ok Walty, I don't see where Tulsa is a great add except in further spreading USA-II west. I mean decent football team but not even a decent media market and a tiny school in terms of student enrollment. Guess they did'nt think adding Tulane and that being the straw that broke the Conferences back was a big deal.

Whew.
FWIW, after Tulsa and Tulane leave, Rice will be the only private school left in CUSA.

AAC, aka "American Athletic Conference."
Wow. That's almost as original as "College Football Playoffs."
Glad to see WKU come to CUSA though!
