Of the many, many, many schools that the Big East is considering to expand with, none is a bigger fish than Boise State, at least in football terms. If all this expansion business is about football, and the name of the game is to be in the a BCS conference, you’d think both sides would be jumping at one another.
Big East Expansion: Boise State, Big East Still Not Sure What To Make Of Each Other
A college football official, who spoke Thursday to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the Big East’s plans, says some Big East presidents are resisting adding Boise State and the school itself has reservations about joining a conference in flux.
It was one thing to add TCU (or at least try), it’s another thing altogether to invite a team from Idaho to join a conference with the word East in its title. So you better believe everyone wants to be sure about this.
Of course, if Boise joins and then the Big East loses its AQ status, then that would have defeated the entire point. With reports out there saying that the Big East will definitely keep its status, will definitely lose its status and definitely won’t know anything about its status for years...it’s all a little confusing.
Stay tuned here for more conference realignment news.
