Memphis has been aware of the discussions of the Big East to expand as far back as November of 2010, and has been somewhat non-committal...
Or is it more of a non-denial denial...
Now, it appears that they're moving to the Big East in all sports- perhaps as early as 2013. The exit fee from Conference USA for 2013-14 is $500,000 plus Memphis' share of television rights revenue, which is a little over US$6-million, according to a league spokeswoman through ESPN.
The first word on this comes from CBS Sports' Brett McMurphy...
"The Tigers would join the Big East with three other Conference USA members – Houston, SMU and UCF – for the 2013-14 school year. The Big East also will add Boise State and San Diego State as football-only members in 2013 and Navy in 2015."
