USC and UCLA’s eventual move to the Big Ten has caused some strife within college football, leaving the Pac-12 in a bit of a scramble mode. During the conference’s media day, it was clear that its leadership is still reeling over what occurred.
In September, Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger reported the Pac-12, Big Ten and ACC had an “Alliance” that would both work together and not poach each other’s schools after the SEC took Texas and Oklahoma from the Big 12. Dellenger described the “Alliance” as a “Gentlemen’s Agreement” between the three conferences.
