ORLANDO, Fla. -- Local 6 Sports Director David Pingalore is reporting that multiple college football sources have said that the University of Central Florida and Memphis could be invited to join the Big East conference as soon as next week.
UCF and Memphis are currently part of Conference USA.
A move to the Big East for UCF would not only bolster TV money, but would also certainly make a huge impact in recruiting.
With conferences across the country in the last week making switches, the move would come as no surprise. UCF has been rumored to make such a move to the Big East, although there was never a timetable.
According to Pingalore's college football sources, the invitation is highly likely.
The Big East would like to have the 19th largest TV market in the country -- Orlando -- which UCF would provide.
