“The fact is no new news to report today on domestic expansion, but it’s something we continue to look at," Silver added. "We did discuss it at the board meeting. I think that we’ve spent a fair amount of time on the economic models around expansion. We’ve gotten into more of, I’d say, a deeper dive than when I last addressed the media on it. Certainly, now that we know what our media contracts are. That helps in doing the math, at least over the next decade. Part of the difficulty in potentially assessing it is a sense of long-term value of the league, and a little bit, maybe it’s a high-class problem, but as with some of the recent jumps in franchise valuations, that sort of creates some confusion in the marketplace about how you might even price an expansion franchise. So I’ll only say it’s something that we continue to actively look at.”

"Some confusion" :roll:

So, no expansion is likely for the next ten years / during this current TV deal.
