It has been reported by the BBC that the SPFL will meet on Wednesday morning to discuss Hearts chief Ann Budge’s league reconstruction plans.
Any change to the league appeared to be dead in the water a couple of weeks ago as the reconstruction task force was scrapped.
Yet, as the Premiership was terminated the topic of league reconstruction was put back on the table.
Budge held talks with clubs last week regarding an increased top flight of 14 or potentially 16 teams.
Cormack clarified his position to Aberdeen fans on Twitter.
He said: “From day 1 we have always been FOR temporary reconstruction to be FAIR to Hearts, Partick and Stranraer. And we are open to permanent reconstruction talks but not during a major crisis. We don’t even know who might be able to play next season!”
Cormack also addressed the pyramid issue.
Lowland League and Highland League champions Kelty Hearts and Brora Rangers were left exasperated after they were denied the chance to win a promotion at the expense of Brechin City who finished bottom of League Two.
Cormack said: “What about Kelty Hearts and Brora Rangers. If we want competition and to encourage investment, a real pyramid system would have two teams relegated from Division 2. Just look at what Cove has brought to the league. A great team, forward thinking board, and a new stadium.”
