STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -Pittsburgh coach Dave Wannstedt is staying away from questions about Big Ten expansion.
Wannstedt and Penn State coach Joe Paterno addressed reporters Wednesday in State College after the two met with Pennsylvania high school football coaches.
Wannstedt declined comment when asked afterward of rumors that Pitt is a possible Big Ten target. Wannstedt said he has had “zero” discussions about the issue, and that any talks would be taken up by school administrators.
Pitt plays in the Big East. The Big Ten has said it is exploring expansion options and has a timetable of 12 to 18 months for a decision.
Paterno favors expanding from 11 to 14 teams. The Hall of Fame coach last year said he’d like to see Pitt, Rutgers or Syracuse join the Big Ten.
