SDSU announcing separation from Big East.....

[Coach Bill Lewis]

It appears the Big East is about to get smaller. Again.

A source confirmed to CBSSports.com's Jeremy Fowler that the Big East and San Diego State are preparing to announce that San Diego State will be leaving the conference before it ever officially joined. The source told Fowler the deal is "close" but there's no timetable because lawyers are involved.

And as was the case when Boise State left the Big East in late December, San Diego State will be leaving the Big East in order to remain with the Mountain West. However, unlike Boise State, San Diego State will not have to pay the Big East an exit fee. The school negotiated a clause in its deal with the conference that if Boise State backed out it would be able to do so as well at no cost.

They may get even smaller....

The folks over at CoogFans are going nuts over somebody claiming that Houston may be leaving the nBE for the ACC or PAC-12.

This would open up a whole 'nother can of worms.

Houston going to stay the course with Big East. Their Western division could look somrthing tile this: Houston,SMU,Tulsa,Tulane, Memphis,USF,UCF. Eastern division: Cincy,U.Con,ECU,U.Mass,Temple,Navy,and player to be named later,Or just move UCF east,forget either Navy or U.Mass,and have a 12 team league.
