[QUOTE="Mescalero, post: 5172401, member: 21439"] I think it has more to do with (1) B1G and PAC 12 network deals are coming back up for bid end of 2024 and this will be a "scheduling alliance" of some sort and the thought being the next network deals will be more attractive; and (2) it's a stand against ESPN having exclusive CFP rights (which is interesting because the ACC's network deal is with ESPN). Ohio State has home and home games scheduled over the next 6-7 years with Texas, Notre Dame, Georgia, and Alabama and those games aren't going away so as far as a "scheduling alliance" is concerned, I don't see anything really happening there until later this decade. What will probably happen is the B1G and PAC 12 reduce their conference schedule to 8 games to be like the ACC and SEC so that a marquee game of B1G vs ACC vs PAC 12 can be scheduled. The only thing that is certain is the Big 12 is kaput. [/QUOTE]
