Big East Planning to Add Six to Make 12

Under the Big East plans now being considered, Boise State, Air Force and Navy would enter the conference as football-only members. Houston, S.M.U. and Central Florida would be added in all sports. Although the potential addition of those programs would dilute the league’s strength in basketball, it would add the television markets and recruiting bases in Houston, Dallas and Orlando, Fla

There is not guarantee we get into conference usa. Apparently CUSA and MWC are merging and it does not say they are adding any teams( doesn't mean they are not going). But there is still no guarantee we will be invited.

"The two conferences affected by the Big East's expansion plans -- the Mountain West for Boise State and Air Force and Conference USA for UCF, SMU and Houston -- announced Friday they would form a 22-team merged league in football only, with two divisions and a conference championship game."

"...Acknowledging potential defections, Banowsky said that number could settle at 20 or rise with new invitees to 24. Or even a couple more."

"Both [CUSA/MWC] commissioners said they are having internal discussions with their members about possibly adding other schools."
