The SEC's expansion of Texas and Oklahoma was the biggest storyline of the offseason. Weeks ahead of the start of the season, more dominoes could be lined up to fall.
The Big Ten, Pac-12 and ACC are reportedly discussing a conference alliance that could go beyond a mere football scheduling agreement into a "broader cooperation," according to Max Olson of The Athletic. The three conference commissioners—the Big Ten's Kevin Warren, Pac-12's George Kliavkoff and ACC's Jim Phillips—have had "high-level discussions" over the past few weeks.
Specifics of the discussions are not yet known, but Olson reports that the broad goal of the potential alliance is for the three leagues to be in unison when voting on major issues, such as College Football Playoff expansion.
