TCU agreed in November to join the Big East, giving the conference nine football-playing members and 17 in basketball. And more expansion is likely.
Boeheim says the league’s coaches are going to make a strong push to bring all 17 teams to New York next year. He says it’s very doable. He says depriving any student-athlete of a trip to New York City and a chance to play in the conference tournament is simply wrong. Prior to 2009, only the top 12 teams competed.
