    Default Sources -- Pac-12, Big Ten, ACC discussing formation of alliance, likely around scheduling

    The Pac-12, Big Ten and ACC have had preliminary discussions about forming an alliance, likely built around scheduling but possibly other areas, sources told ESPN.

    Commissioners George Kliavkoff (Pac-12), Kevin Warren (Big Ten) and Jim Phillips (ACC) have been in regular communication and have had some in-person discussions. Kliavkoff and Warren were together this week for Rose Bowl meetings. Pac-12 sources said all three commissioners met last week in Chicago.

    "I've been in frequent and regular contact with all of the other A5 commissioners the last few weeks about the four or five complex issues that are facing our industry," Kliavkoff told ESPN on Friday night. "Anything beyond that is just speculation, and I can't comment on it."

    This is a leverage play to try to keep the pressure on the complete consortium of Power 5 conferences to keep the 12-team playoff plan moving forward. Interesting that Big 12 is just in the wind, though.

    The 12 team playoff would definitely seem to fit a 4 conference structure better. I think the big 12 is done by the time this new playoff format actually begins.

    Now that the SEC is expanding to 16 teams and the playoffs are expanding to twelve teams, I'm sure SEC fans are asking which four of their teams won't make the playoffs.
    I miss the old Mile High Stadium.

    The mythos around the SEC is interesting.

    The mythos is to some extent real. It’s going to be interesting to see if Oklahoma and Texas can maintain any success when going up against Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU routinely. They would routinely have four teams in a 12-team playoff in the current conference alignment. But at some point, you do eat your own in terms of wins and rankings.
