Big East basketball commissioner: We're open to expansion but 'nothing on the horizon'
The Big East has faced numerous expansion rumors this season but Ackerman told The Enquirer Saturday "there’s nothing on the horizon” for the league in terms of expansion and that she was pleased with the league's current structure.
“We’re open to it (expansion) if we can find the right school or schools. There’s no need in our minds right now, at least near-term,” Ackerman said. “The 10 schools have been a very cohesive group. We’re getting done what we’re trying to get done in terms of basketball relevance.
“If there were schools out there that fit the bill...we would be open to it but right now we’re sort of standing pat at 10."
Any new member would have to add significant brand-building value to the league, Ackerman said, and geography, too, is another consideration.
