Auburn football [Adam Cairns / Dispatch]
When Texas and Oklahoma declared their intentions of joining Auburn football in the SEC, the rest of the college football world knew the game had changed forever.
So to combat college football’s most dominant conference picking up two of the highest revenue-producing programs in the nation, the next best three conferences formed the ‘Alliance’ to “support student-athlete well-being, academic and athletic opportunities, experiences and diverse educational programming.”
In laymen’s terms, the ACC, Big Ten, and Pac-12 are essentially joining forces to promote the importance of their member schools’ biggest games by agreeing to schedule more inter-conference games between the three conferences.
