Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 3953676, member: 622"] Respectfully, no. The Alliance has 41 teams. Assuming the Big 12 aligns with the SEC (this is a rather large assumption as eight schools will have serious heartburn about working with OU and UT,) they would have 32 teams. The P5 is autonomous., thus the Alliance can make the rules. I don't see an abuse from the Alliance, rather, I see them strong arming the SEC (and friends) to return the field to a level surface. All the major colleges are necessary to keep CFB relevant. Academics is already on the table, SEC schools will have major issues fielding teams with truly academically qualified student athletes. I would not be surprised if the Big 12 works with the Alliance, at least some of the time. [/QUOTE]
