The idea is being floated out there now

And it makes sense. It provides all of the benefits of merging with none of the baggage. Getting every PAC 12 team two B1G games increases the value of the leagues inventory and getting time slots in the West gives the B1G more windows to broadcast all its teams. Also, the league and network can cherry pick the cross league matchups each year. It increases value for all involved.

Realistic Prediction

The BigTen won’t be interested in the PAC12 deadweight.

That would not be a problem with joint media rights bidding and a scheduling alliance

If anything happens, it will be the B1G raiding the ACC.

Doubtful with the existing ACC GOR. It would likely be more expensive for any departing ACC team than they are willing

Yup, it would take a whole sale exodus for that to happen.

Two possibilities here

Yep. I think the B1G still wants Notre Dame, plus ACC schools are a better fit

You are wrong.

The B1G could schedule games with teams out there as they choose

BYUFam1

6/22/22 10:11am

Remember that "yearly" scheduling deal the PAC and B1G tried to get going back

Different commissioners and different circumstances now

runningryan

6/22/22 8:40am

Yep, been there, done that, regretted it, pulled the plug on it...

I realize a lot of you don’t like this but the Alliance might actually work if TV deals are synced up with each other

runningryan

You've made a reasonable case...not certain I agree, but not as out there as I'd guess

krindorr

6/22/22 8:55am

I actually hope it doesn’t happen because we don’t need more Yewt smugness

runningryan

6/22/22 8:59am

Why would the B10 want their deal diluted by adding on the P12?

Not when you can cheery pick your matchups

runningryan

They won’t. 🙂

NorCal_Coug

And I am not saying they should add those teams to the their conference

runningryan

6/22/22 9:42am

Is there a reason you think this is actually happening?

Who’s floating this? Talking heads?
