I see either you are a graduate or current student at Cincy. My daughter is in her last year at USF. Down here, we're not sure about Villanova. They seem to be dragging their feet to make a decision. The cost might be too much for them. If I can recall, they were offered at one time to move up to football and they refused. As far as UCF, I personally would not want to see them in the Big East, mostly because USF's recruiting would take a huge hit. I don't know if you've been to both campuses, but I have. I loved the UCF campus, not as urban as USF, modern, and a lot of well maintained green space. They have some very nice new facilities, although I have a problem with the trampoline (their football stadium). It's like a frying pan....terrible...in the middle of the State with no breeze, it's stifling. But it is on campus. The Bulls play at Raymond James Stadium and although it is a professional stadium which I personally like better than the trampoline, it is a distance away from the campus. USF for the most part is able to get recruits the Big 3 don't recruit because they are in the Big East, and we are just beginning to take one or two of them away from the Big 3. It has taken a long time to be able to do that. Taking that advantage away from USF would devastate recruiting until our facilities are upgraded, which we are in the process of doing....just not for football. On the other hand, I believe Leavitt was the main force in blocking UCF from receiving an invite. Now that he is gone, it's hard to say that USF might put the kabosh on that invite in the future.
