Big East Expansion: SMU To Announce Accepted Invite Friday, According To Report

Please oh please oh please let the SMU Mustangs announce they're joining the Big East at the same time Boise State, UCF, Navy, Air Force, Houston and Mystery School X do. It would be just fine with everybody in the world if they could all go ahead and get it over with at the same time, especially with the LSU-Alabama game of the year coming just a day later.

According to one report, SMU will announce Friday, and we can only hope the other five or six-ish will do the same:

Justin Hopkins@JHopkins247 Source confirms #SMU is expected to announce Friday their acceptance of formal Big East invite. #CFB

Weeks-old reports have pegged Boise State and the service academies as football-only members, with the others joining for all sports. The Associated Press added a report to that list on Tuesday.
