The Pac-12 announced this morning that they have entered into a “Historic Alliance” with the Big 10 and ACC Conferences in a move that has been expected for several weeks. This move includes additional scheduling opportunities in football and men’s/women’s basketball.
The 3 conferences note that they “are grounded in their support of broad-based athletic programs, the collegiate model and opportunities for student-athletes as part of the educational missions of the institutions”. Within the press conference it was noted that the 41 member institutions of the 3 conferences are aligned in their emphasis on academics and education.
