Um, is it too late to join WVU in their lawsuit to leave the Big East early? I’m starting to come around to the idea of saying, “Screw doing it the right way to leave the conference. Time to burn some bridges and be an asshole about it.”
Memphis and the Big East Conference are in the final stages of negotiations to make the Tigers an all-sports member of the Big East beginning in 2013, college football industry sources told CBSSports.com.
The Tigers would join the Big East with three other Conference USA members – Houston, SMU and UCF – for the 2013-14 school year. The Big East also will add Boise State and San Diego State as football-only members in 2013 and Navy in 2015.
SI.com’s Stewart Mandel noted that Memphis’ BCS rankings for the past 4 years have been: 115, 114, 112 and 96.
