Possible Big-12 / SEC Alliance

[HouClone]

Maybe the Big 12 and SEC / ESPN come to a deal.

SEC / ESPN Gives:
1. Bowl Ties - SEC agrees to keep the Sugar Bowl with the Big 12 for #1 versus #1. Other Bowl Ties alnd with similar ranked teams (within 2) - SEC #4 versus Big 12 #2 is fine.. The Big-12 is going to need good bowls as the Alamo and Houston Bowl may pull the plug on the new Big-12. This will help prevent this.
2. Alliance with the Big 12 like the Alliance between the Pac-12 / Big-10, and ACC. Each Big-12 team has 2 out of conference games with the SEC. Alliance games has to be rotating members. It can't exclude say the top SEC teams like Alabama.. Home and.Home.
3. Alliance influence to keep Big-12 power league.
4 Tv payout no lower than payout of Pac-12 or ACC, whichever is lower.
5 Language carrying out the above indefinitely unless something drastic changes in conference memberships.

Prior to listing Big-12 Gives, the Big-12 expands to 12 with a mix of BYU, Boise State, Cincinnati, Memphis, Houston, Central Florida, Navy, Army, South Florida.

Big-12 Gives:
1. Drops pursuing lawsuit against ESPN.
2. Agrees to all ESPN contract.
3. Allows 1-2 games on ESPN +
4. Allows for Thursday and Friday games.
5. ESPN and SEC to be in the Big 12 4 team expansion process. With addition of say BYU, this gives Mountain time zone. With Boise State addition, their Alliance home game has to be in Las Vegas, giving the Pacific Time Zone game for a night game.
6. Due to the Alliance, agrees with voting with SEC for CFP such as 12 teams.
7. Drops exit fee to $30 million each team. This will be used to help the new 4 teams with their conference exit fees and lawyer fees.
8. Releases OU and Texas to play in the SEC in 2022.
9. Voids GOR for OU and Texas.
10. Allows Oklahoma to wrestle as a Big-12 member.

The SEC gains NOTHING by doing this.... so not going to happen.

Maybe every SEC school sends me $6 million in cash, too.

Traitor, we were supposed to ask for nothing less than $8 million. There goes our alliance.

What are they giving up - 2 non conference games, some Bowl Tie-Ins, and maybe $3-$5 million a team playing the Big 12? So they drop from $80 million to $77 million. You are already seeing the Big 10 give up some possible money by agreeing to play ACC and Pac-12 for their Alliance. Maybe we go then to 1 SEC-Big 12 game.

If something like this were to happen, it would be the Hateful 8 joining the American conference - you know - like ESPN originally planned for all along.

Sure - let's partner with the conference that just stuck a gigantic knife in our back several weeks ago. What could go wrong?

I knew I should have taken notes.

It could be seen as a way to block the Alliance from putting them on an island. And it could be a way for them to buy some votes if they needed them for playoff expansion. We could go back to being Texas' errand boy.

That would be like going on a double date with your ex wife and the dude she was banging and left you for!

 

[clonehome]

Yep

 

[ruflosn]

I’ll read through this later while high.

agree. the sec is the enemy and we need to find a way into the alliance

 

[cycloneG]

We're thinking too small. We need to enter into negotiations with the NFL to be added as the 9th division.

 

[Cyforce]

How is this still open and why hasn't the OP been banned?

I didn't even read your post. You may have some valid points. Right now I don't feel too much like sleeping with the devil.
