According to J.A. it's football only:
"An ACC blogger said today that UConn, Louisville and Navy are on the conference expansion list and the matter will be discussed this week. With Tulane [all sports] and East Carolina [football only] joining the Big East in 2014, the Big East seems to be grasping at any school it can to bolster its roster, almost as if it expects to lose both UConn and Louisville soon."

Joe Zone on WFSB during the 6:00 news sports segment said it was South Carolina, I believe even the graphic said South Carolina. I nearly fell off the couch! I thought "Wow, that is quite the get!" But then the internets provided the real story.

Man, you have to think that UConn will be moving someplace if the BE is replacing football schools before any more leave. This whole conference realignment is insane. I feel like UConn is on one of those childhood playground carousels that the ACC, BiG, SEC, B12, Pac10, and BE conference leadership are on the outside, pushing so it spins faster and faster. I am so dizzy watching it that it is making me sick. Make it stop, Ma! MAKE IT STOP!!!!
