"I have been told by multiple sources the Big East does not require a unanimous vote to add new members, although it may be formally announced as unanimous if and when a new member is introduced. I have heard USF has strong objections to UCF joining the league for a variety of reasons, but UCF has wide support within the conference. The decision whether to add UCF won’t be determined by USF.

And it won’t be determined by Villanova either.

Once TCU broke the difficult seal of a 16-team basketball conference, pushing the Big East to 17 basketball playing members, many of the objections against adding one more have faded.
Just to be absolutely clear, I am not reporting UCF to the Big East is a done deal. The league can change course for any reason at any time. All I am saying is that UCF has support from current Big East members."
