All East Carolina University teams will join the soon-to-be ex/former Big East Conference.
Their start date will be July 1, 2014. Initially, ECU was planning on only being a football-only with a gradual roll-in for the other sports. Chancellor Steve Ballard was just waiting on the official word from the conference as to what the new start date would be...
He now has it, and probably, knows what kind of a check he has to cut so he won't be spending a lot of time in court with his ex-conference. The Pirates will continue to play in Conference USA until then.
Here's the latest from Greenville...

And Now, San Diego State Is Leaving The Big East
((HT: Mark Blaudschun))
The Jersey Guy himself is reporting that come July 1, 2013 San Diego State is returning to the Mountain West Conference as a full-time member- without having to pay an exit fee.
See, they worked it into their contract that if Boise got to leave, they could too without opening their wallet...
Good work for them... as the MWC expands back to 12...
As of right now, the Big East is going back to 10 teams (temporarily): Connecticut, Temple, Rutgers, South Florida, Cincinnati, Memphis, Louisville, Central Florida, SMU and Houston.
Louisville and Rutgers stay for 2013 but leave the conference for the ACC and Big Ten in 2014. Tulane and East Carolina replace them. Navy is also scheduled to join the Big East in 2015.
For now...
And the HQ is still confused with basketball season coming up as the conference goes from 18 to 11 when the Catholic 7 exits and takes others from other conferences with them to create their own basketball-only group...
More when we know more...

DEVELOPING: Boise Staying In Mountain West (UPDATED With $$$ Details)
((HT: Brett McMurphy))
And, because of that, San Diego State won't have to pay an exit fee if they decide to leave the Big East Conference and return west themselves...
Until we have more info on this whole thing, here's highlights from Boise State's win over Washington in Las Vegas...

McMurphy also says that Boise will still have to pay their $10-million exit fee. Maybe, they can go halfsies with the Aztecs... We have more from the Mountain West their own selves... MWC Commish Craig Thompson, in Hawai'i for the Diamond Head Classic, told Mark Zeigler of the San Diego Union-Tribune when asked about SDSU: “It’s not by any particular design that we haven’t talked to San Diego State,” Thompson said. “Maybe it’s a cat and mouse kind of deal. Boise State has been more active in this. It’s not obstinance on anyone’s part. Whenever it’s time, if it’s time, it will happen … I would have no issue talking with San Diego State if something were to develop. “To be honest, we’re just trying to figure all this out. Schools have their reasons for leaving for the Big East. Maybe they’re still valid today, maybe they’re not. But I think some schools – maybe not only Boise State – are re-evaluating that decision.” And, according to Brian Murphy at the Idaho Statesman and his Twitter: Boise State will remain in Mountain West. League will guarantee the rights to Boise State home FB games that are sold as separate package.

Boise Back To Mountain West...???
That's the conventional wisdom, and for them, it would make the most sense...
The dissolving of the Big East Conference in basketball with the planned exit of the so-called "Catholic 7" is creating some discord with the inbound football-playing schools- and now it looks like Boise State is thinking about jumping back to where they were.
Why...???
Under the new post-season system, the Mountain West has as much stroke as the Big East does. The Big East's TV deal is in a large amount of doubt and discussion since it would take place starting in 2014- the season in which a lot of the schools are looking to leave, relocate, and/or not hang out with the Big East anymore.
Evidence of concern is hyah...thanks, KIVI-TV in Boise...
At the same time, it appears that the Big east is reaching out to UNLV and Fresno State to join if the western additions turn into abstentions. The idea of them joining seems somewhat far-fetched since there doesn't seem to be any kind of added benefit. San Diego State is still in play since they haven't decided to go back to where they were or not at present.
Meanwhile, when was the last time you heard about Boise and Washington squaring off in a defensive battle in Las Vegas...???

More Carousel: Steve Addazio leaves Temple for Boston College
So, 3 major college coaching hires in one afternoon. Please guys, stop, we have things to do tonight.
Boston College appears to have found their new head coach in the form of Temple head man Steve Addazio.
Addazio had been the head coach for the Owls for the past two seasons and garnered a 13-11 recored including a 4-7 record this season as Temple moved from the MAC to the Big East.
BC needed a new coach after parting ways with coach Frank Spaziani on the heels of a 2-10 season, 3-9 the season before and 4-8 the season before that.
The Eagles were considered somewhat of a higher profile job considering their history of success with guys like Matt Ryan and Doug Flutie along with other successful graduates. The 4-8 2010 season broke their string of 11-consecutive bowl years.
