According to this LDS source, they are still talking.
Washington (D.C.) Examiner columnist Jim Williams, who has extensive contacts in the Big East and on the East Coast, told the Deseret News that the Big East and BYU have "never really stopped talking."
According to Williams, newly hired commissioner Mike Aresco reconnected with BYU administrators recently.
"Talks intensified," he said in an e-mail. "So they are talking — that does not mean that they will join, but they continue to talk."
Williams added that Tuesday's report that BYU turned down an invitation to join the Big East was "wrong. The Big East did not make an offer and BYU did not turn it down."
