Great find. Its definitely speculative, but there's tons of smoke esp when a business mag is reporting it.

If we do end up going this route, I'd prefer ECU over Temple any day. As long as we retain Villanova as a non-football member, we'll have as much of the Philadelphia audience as we'd have with Temple. I see no advantage to bringing back a failed member. That just gives the media one more reason to dump on us...

I agree Bit.

Any chance USF blocks UCF?

Not if they value their BCS health...

tcu,ucf,villanova,houston would be my guess
