The Big East is looking at Fresno State and the University of Nevada Las Vegas to fill the void left  by departing schools in football, according to a report from CBS Sports. The report also states that the conference has had conversations with Brigham Young University about adding their football program.

However, pending TV deals could hold up any addition of schools for a while. The Mountain West Conference, where UNLV and Fresno State both play, is attempting to sell secondary and third broadcast rights to its games outside of those covered by CBS, the conference’s broadcast partner until 2015.

Pat Hill was fired at the end of the 2011 season as head coach of the Fresno State football team, but it didn’t take him long to get back in the game. ESPN’s Pat Yasinskas reports that the Atlanta Falcons have hired Hill as their next offensive line coach.

Hill replaces Paul Boudreau, who had been on the Falcons’ staff throughout the tenure of head coach Mike Smith.

In 15 seasons at the helm in Fresno, Hill led the Bulldogs to an 112-80 record and 11 bowl game appearances. They won a share of the Western Athletic Conference title in 1999.

The Falcons went 10-6 last season, making the postseason for the third time in four years, but losing in the first round to the New York Giants.
