    The Big East is still considering expansion as it prepares to negotiate a television rights deal that commissioner John Marinatto called the most important in its history.

    The conference will add TCU as its ninth football member, and 17th member overall, in the fall of 2012. The move gives the Big East another huge television market, along with New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, but could further complicate the relationship between the schools that play football and those that don't. The football members would like to add another school, but that choice has to appease the basketball members, too.
