Big Ten, Pac-12, ACC Formally Announce Conference Alliance

The Big Ten, ACC and Pac-12 formally announced an alliance Tuesday regarding matters including College Football Playoff expansion and non-conference scheduling.

The three conferences formed Tuesday's alliance in the wake of Texas and Oklahoma's move to the SEC, which is slated to go into effect in 2025. The other eight teams currently in the Big 12 have not found new homes for future years.

The alliance between the Big Ten, ACC and Pac-12 includes a "scheduling component for football and men's and women's basketball," per a conference statement.

A target year for adjusted non-conference schedules has yet to be announced, though the three conferences reportedly "desire to see what a potential expanded CFP model looks like before adopting new scheduling strategies," according to ESPN's Adam Rittenberg.
