Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 509680, member: 626"] This alliance talk is a big deal, but it probably won't stop the threat of poaching, at least not immediately. The B1G will still attempt to entrench its footprint to increase content for its BTN, as will the SEC for their new network. In effect what you might see are the 2 mega-conferences duking it out to see who can acquire the "best product" out there. As others have said, if the final $$ are within decent range, schools will stay put. Therefore, its in the B1G/SEC's best interest, in the short term, to grab as many marbles as possible before the game ends. If the +3 conferences can hang on in the short term, meaning their most valuable assets stay put, then things ought to stabilize. [/QUOTE]
