On Monday morning, FanRag Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported that the Big Ten has voted to expand their men’s basketball league schedule to 20 games starting with the 2018-19 season. This follows on the heels (well, kind of, the announcement was over a year ago) of the ACC announcing a 20 game league schedule starting with the 2019-2020 season.
That’s two of the four high major conferences with more than 10 teams shifting to a 20 game schedule.
That probably means that the Big East needs to seriously consider expanding to 11 teams.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I’ve been an anti-expansion honk for a long time now.
