Report after report has said that the Big East planning to invite schools to shore up their league. Now according to the associated press, the Big East is set to send invites to the Boise St. Broncos, Air Force Falcons and others:
Along with Boise State, which would be invited only to play football in the Big East, the league also wants to invite Air Force and Navy as football-only members and Conference USA members Central Florida, SMU and Houston to join in all sports.
The official, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the league wasn't announcing its plans publicly, said he is confident the league's members are ready to move forward with the plan.
There is still not a 100 percent certainty that Boise State or Air Force will join the Big East, because last night there was a report by Andy Katz that said the two schools were hesitant to join the Big East.
Hopefully on Monday it will be known either way if Boise State and/or Air Force will join the Big East.
