Rick Pitino is enjoying 1 of his best seasons in college basketball in a long time as he has St. John’s looking like a team that could be a darkhorse contender to make it to the Final Four.
St. John’s is 21-4 after losing to Villanova by 2 on Wednesday night, but is still the top team in the Big East. The conference has a ton of teams that are capable of going on a deep run in March Madness, but Pitino thinks the Big East should form a partner ship with the ACC to form a super conference in basketball.
"We are missing the boat if we don't expand…The coaches are in favor of a super league, the Presidents are against it."Rick Pitino told Coach K why he loves the idea of an ACC/Big East super league.@RealPitino | @StJohnsBBall | @DukeMBB ? t.co/BryJ1ZmE5Z pic.twitter.com/u57hyV4CTt
— College Sports on SiriusXM (@SXMCollege) February 12, 2025“I have been trying to get them to start a super-league, a basketball league,” Pitino said. “Get up to 18 teams or 16 teams. Eleven is just not enough. Right now, a little bit like the ACC, we aren’t like the Big East of the past where we were getting, 8, 9 or 10 teams left. We just can’t see that there is a lot of money to be made down the road if we set up a super league. We need to do something about that in the Big East, and I think the coaches are in favor of a super league. I just think the presidents are against it.”
Pitino mentioned that many of the teams in the Big East don’t have football teams, so they are in a different situation than the other big conferences in college sports.
