Temple could join the Big East in all sports as early as the next school year.

Also, FSU has replaced WVU on the schedule with Savannah State. WVU will owe FSU at least $500,000, although CBS's Brett McMurphy indicated that FSU may also pursue additional liquidated damages.

Georgia Tech also has a scheduling issue for Sept. 8th that is delaying the schedule (trying to find a suitable opponent to play five days after opening the season on MNF in Blacksburg).

And we've never seen one of the new Big 12 schools break a contract after committing to that conference.

Enjoy UT, OU and the 8 dwarves

Plus it brings the football total to 13 teams, once all the other invitees show up. That is a messy schedule. You would think they would have considered the possibility of WVU leaving immediately before they finalized the deals with some of the other schools. Ask Temple before Memphis, or ask Temple before Navy. Does this mean they aren't finished? Another football only invite will bring them to 14 football schools and 18 basketball schools.

I think this will happen. There is no rush for the Big East to add another team because Navy won't join until 2015 (I believe). Plenty of time to decide what they're going to do.

Also, there is the slim possibility that Notre Dame will join the ACC and UConn would become the 16th ACC team. But Notre Dame is being a dick about joining our conference and I'm pretty much getting tired of it.

Pitino will get his wish (Temple & Memphis) just in time for Louisville to accept an invite to the Big12.

When is the timeline for Louisville to go to the Big12. I honestly just want all this crap to be done with so I can know whether or not ND will be in the ACC or not.

DSB has also learned from sources with knowledge of the situation, that while BYU continues to flesh out its schedule as an independent, it is also aggressively pursuing full membership in the Big 12 Conference for all of its athletic programs.

BYU has been involved in continued discussions with the Big 12 and its member schools for sometime now, even after the conference added TCU and West Virginia this past fall to replace Texas A&M and Missouri, both of which defected to the SEC.

In fact, discussions between BYU and the Big 12 go back to 2010, when the conference was reduced to ten teams after losing Nebraska and Colorado to the Big Ten and PAC-12 respectively.

Talks between the two parties have ramped up over the past couple of weeks however, with discussions revolving around the possibility of BYU and Louisville being added in time for the 2013-14 athletics season. Such a move would get the conference back to its original number of 12 member schools, and provide it with the opportunity to hold a championship game for football in December of 2013.

Pitrino is on record saying he is not going to the Big 12. Not sure how that will affect Louisville's decision.

Who could forget? One of only two teams to get kicked out of a BCS conference.

Not really-it runs through 2016. And Louisville's AD said he wants to extend it. Though I am not sure you remain in the BE for a coach-no matter how good.

This thread would lose at least half of its LOL factor if he did not post in it.
