UTSA officials on Tuesday expressed surprise that both Tulane and East Carolina from Conference USA have accepted invitations to join the Big East.

“The soap opera continues,” UTSA athletic director Lynn Hickey said.

UTSA will be affected by the moves because it is joining Conference USA in 2013. Tulane and East Carolina are both headed for the Big East in 2014. Tulane is moving in all sports. East Carolina is moving in football only.

“I was very surprised,” Hickey said. “I had no idea anything was going on. But I have a lot of confidence in (C-USA commissioner) Britton (Banowsky). He’s great (thinking) on his feet.”

UTSA coach Larry Coker said he thinks Conference USA will be fielding calls from schools seeking membership.

      We’d Love To Have You

      You’d be surprised how many people go to every football game but rarely make it to the basketball games. There is a large and loud contingent of fans that want a defensive minded coach. Well.. there’s one right across I35 and I’d bet he would love to have another 250-500 fans a game.

      Offensive Woes

      Yup, it's what army and Tulane did to us too. Defenses have our number and we have to pivot to something else.

      Offensive Woes

      You could have posted #3 and still identified 90% of the issues. The Texas Tech “throw it sideways and hope to get forward” garbage is consistently putting us behind the sticks. It was sooooo clear last night that nUTSAck’s corners knew they could blow plays up by getting around the WR that was trying to block them on the perimeter (and our blocking was also a bit suspect in that regard)

      Caponi fired

      No. You never promote somebody that has two or three successful games as an interim when you need somebody that proves he can do it for a long duration. Retain the best position coaches, let the new DC select replacements for the others... and then get them all recruiting the players that they need for their system. There should be no viable excuses for next season's defense.

      Good. Accountability. MAYBE EM is feeling some heat.
