The Big East Conference made a business-saving move in officially adding five new members, including football power Boise State, to its membership for the 2013 season. Conference commissioner John Marinatto announced Wednesday that the Big East would add Houston, SMU and Central Florida out of Conference USA in all sports to replace departing members Syracuse, Pitt and West Virginia, while also adding Boise State and San Diego State out of the Mountain West for football only.
