Lots of unanswered questions with the Alliance.

Will they attempt true rotations where every team in the 3 conferences eventually plays every other team?

Will they schedule home and homes in consecutive years with teams to set up some semblance of continuity (as is often done today)?

It is hard to get schools to change.  Really hard to get 3 conferences to change their scheduling models.  Would be somewhat surprised if this proposal really gets off the ground with most teams playing 1 Alliance game a season.  Would really be surprised if they ever get to the point where most teams play 2 Alliance games a season.

TV is going to have to pony up a lot of money to make this happen.  Networks are going to have to find a way to cooperate with each other.  Schools are going to have to wait their turn to play other schools they want to play and deal with playing less attractive schools some years.

If they go to 2 Alliance games, I would not be surprised if the ND 5 game deal with the ACC gets canceled.  There are way too many schools in the ACC that want easy OOC schedules to get that to go through.  Hell, getting some ACC schools to agree to 2 Alliance games is going to be tough.  Especially for the schools with an annual SEC rivialry game.

I hope this happens.  Would like to see Syracuse play out West more often and renew series with more B1g schools.

Really do not want to see the end result of this be us playing Rutgers every year.   If we aren't going to play a good mix of B1G and P12 schools than I don't want to be part of this.
