What's this?

Given that the Alliance doesn't appear interested in including the Big XII,

I'm not surprised to see the Big XII consider forming an alliance with the SEC because it is the lesser of 2 evils.

Option 1: Form an alliance with the SEC; or

Option 2: Continue down this road alone and hope the conference survives.

If the Alliance truly wanted to include the Big XII in the group, then it would have extended an invitation from the beginning. However, all the articles I have read about the Alliance appear to suggest that wasn't even an option on the table.

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

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