I'm thinking BYU will be their target.

They've been looking to expand for awhile. The next member will come from the west. BYU Fresno St. Or Air force are prolly the top choices.

Air Force almost went the last time around if I recall. BYU seems like a good target, but I think they like their independent status right now and trying to be the Mormon "Notre Dame."
Out of all those and as Chris B mentioned, Fresno State -- I think Air Force is the most likely given that Navy is coming into the fold in 2014.

I'm sure BYU is who they would target (as a football only member, since BYU is content with the WCC in other sports). We'll see how interested BYU is. It could be tough for them to schedule a competitive enough schedule and still get the home games they need as an independent. Also, access to bowl games could be an issue too. BYU could win 10 games this season and the best they would do is the Poinsettia Bowl. Big East membership would probably net them something better, even post-BCS.
