Makes sense, as posted. The two conferences have a long-standing rivalry at the Rose Bowl, and OOC games between two are a natural extension. I don’t know about true merger, but an agreement to increased OOC scheduling could benefit both. Doesn’t the Rose Bowl still have a tie-in with both, unless the game is a CFP game?Read on BR that the PAC-12 & B1G might merge or at least kicking the tires on that idea to protect their conference agreement regarding the Rose Bowl. Dan Patrick spoke on it. Tried to attach the link, but was unsuccessful.
I'm not quite certain ze SEC is rockn'n und roll'n like dies Drei Reich...SEC is 1939 Germany right now. Their broken promises and blitzkrieg are taking the rest of the world by surprise. All the other conferences can wake up, band together, and immediately stop the SEC in its tracks by forming a new football association that excludes the SEC, or everyone can sit on their hands and wait for a racist organization to sweep the continent .

I wonder if that alliance would impact the annual series that Notre Dame has with USC and Stanford. If the ACC hadn't agreed to guarantee five games a year, they could really have issues putting together a decent schedule every year.Makes sense, as posted.

I know many people here are chicken little and say the sky is falling.
But I am enjoying seeing all this chaos myself.
Lmao, this is gonna get ugly
I get the feeling UT and OU couldn't care less.
The ACC and each member school gave ESPN a grant of media rights thru 2035-36. The granting of rights by the conference makes it financial suicide for a member to leave. The exiting school`s media rights, including revenues, would REMAIN in the ACC for all home games, regardless of the school`s membership. You join the SEC and send all your cash to the ACC for home games and get zilch. Zilch. No ACC school would do that. It’s a contractual death sentence.
This is why UT and OU are staying put till their grant ends in 2025. Then the SEC. Clemson won’t announce now for 2036-37. We leave in 15 years! Lol
Big 12 basically accuses ESPN of trying to destroy the conference with scathing cease-and-desist letter
