So this big announcement of the anti-SEC alliance was a nothingburger?

Sounds like it.

"We're not signing any contracts, but are agreeing to work together. And maybe play each other in the future. And we care about student athletes. Oh yeah, and we won't poach each other's members, but really have nothing to say about realignment or expansion at this time."

Did I sum it up correctly?

They wanted a few minutes in the headlines. Full ride was laughing their asses off at the whole thing this morning

Remember when they tried to shut down the season last year and ended up looking like big pussies?

I have a feeling this will stop or slow down the expansion of the playoff championship by showing solidarity among the other conferences. They don't want to see 4 or more SEC teams in the playoffs.

It is a gentlemen's agreement to form a solidified front against the SEC. Essentially a voting block so that they can prevent the SEC from completely dominating the direction of collegiate sports.

Fans of these conferences claim they’ll now vote together against anything the SEC wants.

Funny it is the commissioners talking. It is the individual schools, like Texas and Oklahoma, who make the decision to leave with little regards to their commissioners. This is why I believe no contract is in place. Schools don’t want to be constrained
