Conference Shake-Up

Anyone who follows college football even just a little bit is surely aware that the landscape is changing. The conference moves just continue to grow in numbers. Earlier this season, Texas A&M made its move to the SEC official. Now it looks as though Missouri will follow suit and head to the SEC as well. West Virginia has since been lobbying to take Missouri's place in the Big 12 and will likely be accepted. TCU has changed conferences twice in less than a year, first leaving the Mountain West for the Big East and then withdrawing from the Big East after being offered a spot in the Big 12. The latest conference expansion news focuses around the Big East. There has recently been a lot of speculation as to whether or not the conference would survive all of the changes in college football. It now seems that the conference is determined to survive as it is rumored to have recently invited 6 schools to join: Boise State, Navy, and Air Force for football only and SMU, Houston, and Central Florida for all sports. Memphis and Temple are also candidates to receive invitations to the conference. I will no doubt be discussing this more as more information surfaces.
