Navy is expected to announce Tuesday that it will join the Big East for football in 2015, according to several news outlets, including ESPN, CBSSports.com and The Associated Press.
Athletic director Chet Gladchuk had said Navy, an independent, was comfortable with the Big East and needed to rework schedules and television contracts.
The Big East announced previously the additions of Boise State and San Diego State in football, and Houston, Central Florida and SMU in all sports, effective 2013.
USF, Cincinnati, Connecticut, Louisville and Rutgers are the Big East holdovers from a tumultuous three-month span that saw Pittsburgh and Syracuse jump to the Atlantic Coast Conference, then TCU (which was due to join in 2012) and West Virginia flee for the Big 12. West Virginia and the conference are slated for a court-ordered mediation to determine whether the school will move for 2012-13 or 2013-14.
