Unlikely to have financial impact

I love the idea of these conferences coming together but if doesn’t have a financial impact the ACC and PAC are not gaining any control they are doing the B1Gs bidding. If you think the SEC cares about the other leagues while they are making double the money you are mistaken. If the other leagues don’t want teams jumping then you have to find a way to make enough money to compete.

Impacting the SEC financially IDT is the goal!

Despite all the SEC has done on the field - the Big 10 with it's big viewership footprint is the highest grossing league in CFB.
Hurting them in a monetary way I don't believe is the end goal.
Seems the end goal is to prevent a monopoly from forming as it relates to the college football playoffs! The argument can be made if things stay how they are that the SEC winner and runner up automatically qualify. Sorry Big 12 "CHAMP" even if you are undefeated but ranked behind them(sec runner up) you don't get to go. Same for you ACC and Big 10 and Pac 12. See ya, wouldn't want to be ya!
Making agreements between these conferences to drop the FCS and G5 schools off the schedule in place of competition that will bolster the resume of a potential CFP team seems more likely what they are after.
I hate it for the FCS schools; particularly the ones in South Carolina! This may have been the first step into making college football only about the big schools! As a football fan "IN GENERAL" I will watch a App St. vs. Buffalo game or SC State vs. Grambling or North Dakota State vs. Towson. Can they survive never getting the "big game checks" they usually get at least once a year?
Do they need to separate from the NCAA all together? I think so.

I’m not saying it is the goal. Im saying if finding a way to close the gap isn’t one of the goals your missing the point. The SEC knows it is about money and they are the king because of it. They didn’t take TX and Ok for the love of the game.

I think adding TX was the goal. Now they have TAMU and UT, the 2 largest and most popular schools in TX. There are more than 25 million sets of eyeballs in TX. The SEC will now get the majority of those eyeballs.

Until the SEC says go take a hike because they have a paycheck to fall back on. 12 game SEC schedule and playoff would make them plenty of money without the other conferences.

Texas and Oklahoma did not join the SEC to be denied having a spot in a four team playoff. The SEC wants 8 teams in a 12 team playoff to improve their chances of having a perennial national champion plus all that cash. Maintaining the 4 team playoff will lessen that from happening. This is where the members of the other Power 5 conferences can vote to maintain the 4 team plan.
I haven't heard or seen anything to support it but maybe the SEC has done this to create interest in reorganizing conference alignments. They could cherry-pick the teams they want to keep and get rid of the Gamecocks, Vandy and a few of their other bottom feeders without the possibility of a lot of legal shenannagams.
One thing we do know, college football as we now know it, will see a drastic change in the near future.

themselves, and not the good of college football! But if the PAC, Big 10 & ACC stick together, the playoff can expand to eight, as long as there is a limit of two teams per conference. That is the best way to stick it to the SEC! Then you could see an eight team playoff that includes 2 each from the ACC, SEC & B10, one from PAC 12, and one G5/Big8 team. There is absolutely no reason for the other conferences to give in to the SEC and let them put 5, 6 or even 7 teams in the playoff!

Love this!
2 teams per conference should satisfy the SEC homers for a few seasons at least. Eventually, they would claim their 4th and 5th best could win it.
The NCAA has lost it's meaning and amateurism in college football is at the precipice of losing that "fun nature"!
How many times have you heard people complain about the professional game being all about the money! Hmmmmm! The schools aren't paying the players; but with big money deals like this being all about the money - they may as well! NIL agreements and big money TV deals. Recipe for basically the NFL; but with less compensation to the players!

Based on this, I no longer want playoff expansion

I hope it stays at 4 teams indefinitely because that would eventually hurt SEC recruiting because they could only get 1 or 2 teams in the playoff each year.
If OU, UT and the SEC knew there would be no playoff expansion for an extended period of time, I wonder if they would rethink their plans.

I agree and that's the essence of the Alliance.....take control of the CFP structure. It's not all about the CFP but a primary reason.

conference! Stay at four and the SEC will still be pushing for four in each year. Expand, but limit to two per conference! This will benefit the others more than the SEC!

They do a pretty good job of having a perennial national champion now with 4 in the playoff as long as Saban stays at Bama and Bama stays in the conference.
