...also found in Football Board but did not want our bballers to miss out on this...it would seem that this loose confederation may be good news for the ACC...Notre Dame may need a home sooner than later as games may become more difficult to schedule...
Also, maybe the ACC does something like this with either the Big 12 or SEC...with Big 12...may even provide a better basketball season...just a thought...and first # and link below:
The Pac-12 and Big Ten have agreed to a long-term interconference scheduling "collaboration" that, if successful, could have far-reaching ramifications for both of their memberships.
Wojciechowski: Linking Of Futures
The Big Ten and Pac-12 plan future schedules and events that they hope have the benefits of expansion but none of the usual legal hurdles, writes Gene Wojciechowski. Column
Likely beginning as early as next year, the Pac-12 and Big Ten are going to significantly reconfigure their future football, basketball and Olympic sports schedules to feature games between their combined 24 member schools.
The conferences will announce their plans later Wednesday.
The cleverly constructed "collaborative effort" provides the Pac-12 and the Big Ten with some of the benefits of expansion without the messiness of exit fees, litigation and the loss of historical rivalries. And from a strategic standpoint, the arrangement could broaden the geographical, television and brand reach of both conferences.
