MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia could be on the verge of basketball throwback games against Villanova, Georgetown, St, John’s and Providence, though athletics director Shane Lyons tells MetroNews a Big 12/Big East basketball series is “still conceptual.”
Iowa State AD Jamie Pollard revealed this week the leagues have discussed a scheduling alliance, which conceivably could start during the 2019-20 season.
Such discussions are in response to the Big Ten expanding its conference schedule from 18 games to 20 next season and the ACC doing the same in 2019-20. Various industry sources expect the SEC and Pac-12 to follow suit.
