Big East to expand? Creighton's AD backs Gonzaga, Wichita State as candidates

According to the Wichita Eagle (sure), Creighton's athletic director Bruce Rasmussen would stump for expanding the Big East from 10 to 12 teams:

Creighton athletic director Bruce Rasmussen, known to Wichita State from the Bluejays' days in the Missouri Valley Conference, said he's pushing for Big East expansion from 10 to 12 teams and that WSU and Gonzaga would be good fits.

Rasmussen was careful to say that his opinion in these matters might not carry much weight, but that the Big East presidents and athletic directors have agreed to discuss the possibility of expansion at the conference's annual meetings in May.
