re: Will conference expansion resurface?

I think conference expansion will resurface in time. The Big East sits at 9 football playing members with the addition of TCU. Do they add 3 more members to get to 12 members and add a conference championship game? If they do they will likely pick schools from C-USA and C-USA then has to replace members and will look to the WAC and the Sunbelt for new members.
The other variable may be the Big 12 and whether they are happy at 10 or not. Who will they add? Would they extend an invite to Arkansas?
Time will tell.

The Big 12 really needs to snap up two Texas schools, move Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to the North and they'll be fine.
Even though Boston College and USC aren't really that great of fits in their current conferences, neither conference is going to budge. The Big East will probably try to add UCF (to give USF a "rival") and may try to snag up East Carolina to fill out their conference. Personally, I wouldn't have invited Villanova up; I would have given that spot to Navy and told some of the basketball schools to GTFO.
