What's this?

I think the alliance thang is beginning to form

No hints, no idea what they are talking about......

Strategically, the 3 know what they want on reorganization and will work the foundation, to obtain structure in the new order of collegiate sports (including football).
Second, they are working the schedule realignment, So the 3 conferences play each other more on a structured manner (i.e. 8-9 conference games, 2 OOC games from members of the other conferences). Will include more on other sports as well.
Third, SEC might be squeezed on scheduling OOC

Be interesting is Big 12 falls into being the SEC lacky, instead of ACC. (funny, big 12 takes a hit first with A&M, and Missouri, then texas and Oklahoma, but still want to be the SEC buddy really??)

Given that the Alliance doesn't appear interested in including the Big XII, -- VTHokie2000 01/22/2022 12:43PM

Weird that we haven’t included the big 12. -- Truthahn 01/22/2022 8:39PM

Maybe they don't view the Big XII as being academically on par with the -- VTHokie2000 01/23/2022 09:28AM

True, but 4 to 1 is better than 3 to 2 -- Truthahn 01/23/2022 8:55PM

I agree that 4 is better than 3 simply because right now the ACC could be -- VTHokie2000 01/25/2022 08:55AM

The SEC prefers to load their OOC games with cupcakes...lol -- EDGEMAN 01/22/2022 12:25PM

I agree... -- MrFantastic! 01/22/2022 11:10AM

The B1G won't be doing that. -- HOO86 01/22/2022 12:43PM

You have any thought how it may go? ** -- MrFantastic! 01/22/2022 2:07PM

No. Too much noise from the media this week. -- HOO86 01/22/2022 2:14PM

No doubt ESPN doesn’t want to wait that long, they want an exclusive -- Stech 01/22/2022 2:20PM

Matchups. ND vs Bama, Clemson vs.Bama ect. -- goldendomer 01/21/2022 7:26PM

That's what was said with the ND vs Miami match up in the ACC -- EDGEMAN 01/22/2022 06:54AM

And for every "new match up" an old rivalry disappears. So no thanks, Paul. -- Maroon Baboon 01/22/2022 08:48AM

Those schools want little to do with Alabama in the regular season. -- Truthahn 01/21/2022 9:41PM

Umm, we have them on our future schedule. We have no issue playing them -- goldendomer 01/21/2022 11:00PM

You play them when and how you want, that is different than in conference. ** -- Truthahn 01/22/2022 10:50AM
