I know the feeling! It's better than actually being in the same conference with OSU.

Wait until the BIG takes what they are really after out of the ACC and PAC - UVA, UNC, Southern Cal and Oregon. We really will not like them.

That is a good profile picture, but you really should have more self restraint that that.

Here is an excerpt:
"The Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC are expected to make a formal announcement about their alignment soon, perhaps as early as next week, multiple sources told The Athletic. It's not yet clear how specific the announcement will be because there are so many details to iron out, although administrators in all three leagues have stressed in recent conversations that issues of governance can and should be front and center.
Schools within the three conferences believe they are like-minded, that they want to continue to prioritize broad-based sports offerings and that the academic profile of their institutions matters — as does graduating athletes. For example, Big Ten schools sponsor an average of 24.8 sports per campus, with the ACC (23.8) and Pac-12 (22.9) not far behind. SEC schools offer an average of 19.9 sports.
There are many administrators in the Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC who believe in the collegiate model and want it to continue; even those who have enthusiastically embraced name, image and likeness reform don't want to see college football become an actual minor league system for the NFL with a draft, player salaries and the like. They worry that the SEC's aggression could lead to something like that."

Not sure there's an alliance scenario with midwest clad-hoppers and pacific coast panty-waists that accomplishes that.

The real power is the voting bloc created by the alliance.

I find it hard to believe this has anything to do with scheduling or TV rights/$$$$. B1G and Pac are involved with Fox too. ESPN has exclusive rights to the ACC. Right?
An alliance between the ACC and SEC makes way more sense. Aren't they both exclusive to ESPN now that SEC's side deal with CBS is ending.

Sure Disney money is nutz but WVU (Big 12) wants in on the new alliance, just saying other teams would in. TV contract negotiations won't happen until new schedules get announced. So nothing would happen in few years any ways.

Some of what I have read says that there is concern about the SEC/ESPN push to expand the playoffs (giving the SEC an advantage to fill a majority of those slots). The alliance voting bloc will give the member conferences more power.
