Report: Big Ten, ACC, Pac-12 in 'high-level' discussions about forming official alliance

The ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12 are apparently positioning themselves as a force against the SEC.

The three conferences are “engaging in high-level discussions” about creating a formal alliance, The Athletic’s Max Olson reported on Friday night.

While it’s still unclear specifically how that would work, the move is a very clear response to the SEC’s moves with Texas and Oklahoma.

What would the ACC-Big Ten-Pac-12 alliance look like?

That’s a very good question, one we likely won’t know the answer to for some time.

The three commissionersthe ACC’s Jim Phillips, the Big Ten’s Kevin Warren and the Pac-12’s George Kilavkoff — have reportedly been having conversations for several weeks about such an alliance trying to figure that out.
