Nothing new there.

I have to think its more than just Pitt. It has to be at least half the 8 to be in the same boat to have enough momentum to delay this vote. Pitt is the only one to have an article in the paper about it.
Exactly. There's one candidate that has pulled ahead of the pack so maybe the football schools want that school as the 10th member and wants to sit at that for now. If that's the case I would be very pleased with that. There is still talk if going to 12 so maybe that will be later with Nova? Gives us time to look over the landscape for potential other members.
So Houston gets the invite now as 10th member and Nova has a shot to come in 2014 with maybe a FB only invite or a full member ??
Only thing I do not understand about this process is the length of time it takes. If Big East knows it wants to add UH then why wait until we get closer to the dealine for UH to let CUSA know it is leaving. I know CUSA has discussed every possible scenario and has schools on a short list to replace UH, UCF and even ECU if we go FB only invite. Be nice to get all this stuff over with so Big East can move on and if need be CUSA can start rebuilding yet again.

The only ones saying Houston is first in line are a bunch of fans that know nothing. I still wouldn't count Nova out as #10. They just have to move a couple of ducks first and get them in a row. Nothing the BE does or does not do would surprise me.

Yeah I know what you mean, but it is what it is. I would just like to know for sure if ECU is getting in or not so we can just be done with it. I'd like movement to start happening towards a new eastern non-AQ conference once all the crap ends, especially if C-USA gets made even weaker by the BE.

They know that Houston, UCF, ECU, Temple and pretty much all other non AQ schools will say yes in days time, and they already know where they stand with facilities, fanbase, etc. They had to provide Nova enough time and the "exclusive" window because they are inhouse and have a unique situation of having to come up with the full plan (facilities, fanbase, etc) The other schools already have that profile layed out.
Who knows if they told Nova make it quick, or take your time, we will be picking a 10th before you have a chance at 11 or 12....but keep working because there will be a 11 or 12......It will all work itself out in the next few weeks/months.

I'm tired of the false hope. We have been a candidate for the BE for 20 years and everytime they find a new team to add instead of us. I'd be happier if the BE just came out and said there is nothing ECU could ever do that would make us interested instead of every 5 or 10 years getting our hopes up and picking someone else instead.

I guess the football teams never really thought NOVA would say yes?
I think everyone can agree that an 18,500 seat SOCCER stadium doesn't exactly scream BIG TIME BCS FOOTBALL. And Nova doesn't have the $$$$$ to expand any stadium (from what I understand).
All I know is that there are two great candidates out there that already HAVE great 45,000+ seat stadiums BUILT & READY TO GO.
No need to wait for a study, for donors, or for naming rights....

Jackson State and Tennessee State or do you mean the BE might look outside of the FCS?

Well played.
