What happens when one of these three conferences expands taking a B12 team or gasp a team from one of the other alliance’s conference? Is this a signal that the three have agreed not to raid each other?
I support the idea of an alliance as a unified voting block to combat the SEC but what if the SEC grabs Florida State or Clemson?
If I’m Sankey (SEC commissioner) I would start making minor subtle moves that would test the alliance. Get Alabama to offer a home and away with tOSU or Notre Dame? Block alliance teams from having coaches participate in SEC sponsored football camps. All sorts to things that can test the fragility of this new alliance.
