    I've seen multiple tweets suggesting that Memphis might be joining. Personally I think it's a terrible idea. Memphis has nothing to add to football and is fading fast in basketball.

      Is it logical to assume the Memphis-based Liberty Bowl would be an automatic tie-in should the Tigers join the Big East?
      "In the morning he would read the Bible with another coach. Then, in the afternoon, he would go out and cheat kids who had probably saved up money from mowing lawns to buy those raffle tickets. That's Jim Tressel." - former colleague to Jim Tressel as quoted in Sports Illustrated.

        Logical but not safe. They have contractual obligations to fulfill also.

          joining the big east would stop that fade in basketball in my opinion..NBA facilities coupled with getting to play in the Big East would make them a very attractive school to recruit to

            I think it would help them turn that football program around as well.

              Lot of FedEx money will be thrown at the FB program should they get into an AQ conference.

                Memphis to the BE would be a great move for the school, the city, and the conference.

                  They would add a trip to Memphis every other year. After the Liberty Bowl Game I would be on board for that. Blues, beer, ribs and football (not necessarily in that order) sounds great!

                    I like it. Memphis will only get better like we did playing in the Big East.

                      It might turn out to be every fourth year for football, given that the BE gets to 12 teams and two divisions. There's no guarantee that UC & Memphis would be in the same division. That would mean they'd play at home one year, then on the road two years after that.

                        They should have thrown that money at the football program over the last five years.
                        Our goal is for someone to be asked, what's the best program in the nation? And the answer be: Cincinnati.-Mick Cronin
