“We know that the Big East is attempting to lure more teams out West, and the latest comes from CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd who is reporting that Fresno State and UNLV have had talks about joining the Big East as football-only member.
Big East commissioner Mike Aresco has kept these talks quiet to not allow regents of either school to find out about this situation. Well, too late for that. This is not a shock that Fresno State and UNLV were contacted, but with this being a football-only team. The only real shock is that if the timeline is correct, Tulane was an option before either of these schools....
Adding Fresno State and UNLV would give the Big East 15 football members, and 16 if they get BYU, whom the league has also had some informal talks with.”
