Boise to Big East in 2014?

With three hours to go in Idaho before July 1st officially arrives, speculation is heating up that BSU will not make official its departure from the Mountain West Conference. Talk is circulating that Boise will accept higher exit fees it will incur by waiting in order to buy time to properly place its Olympic sports in a new conference (or find a way for the MWC to agree to keep them). Many BSU partisans now believe that Boise will delay its entry into the Big East until 2014.

Will this, if it transpires, serve as a rationale for the BE to tighten the screws on SU and insist the Orange live up to the 27 month seperation agreement? It seems to me that with SMU and Houston ready to begin play in 2013 there should be no problem letting SU go. But I've had this nagging feeling since last September that Providence would make departure particularly difficult for Syracuse.

Memphis and UCF are coming in 2013, too. The Big East should cut loose Pitt and Syracuse. We don't want to be there and they don't want us there.

SU is trying not to take this into the courts. But if the Big East will not commit on an early exit, then SU would have no other option to force the B-E's hand.
