    At the Big East Media Day the commissioner, Val Ackerman, said that there are no immediate plans for expansion in the immediate future. They like having 10 teams so everyone can play each other home and away every year. Going forward they will look at expansion depending on how the landscape looks

    Thanks Craig, I agree, I was impressed with Creighton’s following in Providence last year. NYE at the dunk! Looking forward to it!
