Big East Expansion: Boise State, UCF, Temple Your Latest Reported Candidates

It wouldn't be a day in America without an entirely new crop of reports on which schools the Big East is just about set to invite. CBS Sports' Brett McMurphy, who knows the Big East's plans better than the Big East itself (not really joking) reports a Central Florida Knights invitation could be coming soon, though there's no specific timetable.

Also, the New York Daily News' Lenn Robbins reports the conference is "poised" to invite the Temple Owls and Boise St. Broncos. Those three additions, if they all happened, would result in a nine-team league, only three shy of a football conference title game. Getting there!

(It's crucial to note Boise State media remains quite skeptical.)

It's also time to whittle down that list of potential Big East expansion candidates by one school. The Army Black Knights have politely declined, according to McMurphy:

A league source also told CBSSports.com that Army is no longer being considered as a candidate by the Big East. "They've been honest with us and that they're not interested because of the challenges they had previously in Conference USA," the source said.
