Can confirm report from @max_olson that Pac-12, ACC, Big Ten have engaged in preliminary talks about an alliance, likely centered on scheduling. Sources say still plenty to work out, but there have been several in-person meetings in recent weeks.

One of the goals I believe Big Ten/ACC/PAC alliance will attempt and successfully achieve is the stoppage of any attempt by SEC to increase the scholarship numbers on FB teams and slow down costs of playing college football at its highest levels for these Athletic Departments.

“Lights continue to dim on prospect of Big Ten expanding anytime soon. Valuation did not come back in favor of expanding with PAC schools in numbers needed (4-6) to make it work logistically for current PAC schools and financially for current Big Ten schools at this time.”

The ACC-ESPN scheduled look-in for 2021 in accordance to the media contract must not have gone good for ACC and their new Commish if they are having meetings with PAC & Big Ten in establishing some sort of alliance. ACC at this point has nothing left to lose.

Could the Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC join forces? https://t.co/eqW4wgDFKG

The most important aspect in The Alliance vs. SEC is voting power. The other 3 conferences can trump whatever the SEC wants in the current system. We get our first taste with College Football Playoff vote in September. Then the NCAA’s reform via Constitutional Convention. Huge.

I think the leverage could be what you are indicating with scheduling and also the future playoff system.......

I think telling the SEC we are keeping the system at 4 would be the decision........

 

Since the conferences are going to basically take the place of the NCAA, an ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 alliance would be significant. https://t.co/B9u5Uncy1j

Column: Why would the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12 form an alliance?

Took a crack at answering this question.
