Kentucky, Texas, N.C. State and Missouri are expected to headline the expanded 2013 Carrier Classic, a source close to the event who was not authorized to speak publicly told SNY.tv Wednesday. Florida State, Gonzaga, Wake Forest and Davidson would be the other four teams in the eight-team event, the source said. “We’re going to expand the event and invite more teams so we can do more for the military,” Michael Watkins, Tournament Director Operations, said at a press conference here promoting this year’s game between Ohio State and Marquette Nov. 9 on the USS Yorktown in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. This year’s game will be broadcast by the NBC Sports Network and the source said next year’s games would also be televised.
