UTSA officials on Tuesday expressed surprise that both Tulane and East Carolina from Conference USA have accepted invitations to join the Big East.

“The soap opera continues,” UTSA athletic director Lynn Hickey said.

UTSA will be affected by the moves because it is joining Conference USA in 2013. Tulane and East Carolina are both headed for the Big East in 2014. Tulane is moving in all sports. East Carolina is moving in football only.

“I was very surprised,” Hickey said. “I had no idea anything was going on. But I have a lot of confidence in (C-USA commissioner) Britton (Banowsky). He’s great (thinking) on his feet.”

UTSA coach Larry Coker said he thinks Conference USA will be fielding calls from schools seeking membership.
