Pitino wants to see Temple invited, on the other hand Memphis has 18,000 basketball season ticket holders.

Why not invite both and BYU for football only?

14/18. We need more quality basketball with UCF and SMU coming on board.

Im assuming BYU is a no at the current time so they don't get an invite otherwise I cant see why not BYU. I would say BYU may hold out for a Big12 invite if they are interested in going to a league.

Possibly having schools from as far away as Idaho and Texas in the "Big East" makes me laugh. Why not go all the way? Didn't someone recently suggest a "Big United States" including every athletic school in the country? Then the schools can be divided up into separate divisions by geography. Think of the TV contract!!
