Yahoo sportswriter Ross Dellenger reported that the SEC and Big Ten are combining forces in major College News.
“Big Ten & SEC are creating a joint advisory group of presidents of ADs in an urgent mission to find solutions & steer college sports into the future,” Dellenger posted.
“’Pressures are mounting,’ SEC’s Greg Sankey tells Yahoo! Sports. ‘We are not going to be status quo.’” Dellenger said on social media.
College football was seemingly in disarray when USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington opted to leave Pac-12 for the Big Ten.
While Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah will join the Big XII.
“…in what Big Ten and SEC commissioners describe as an ‘urgent’ mission to find solutions for issues such as ongoing antitrust lawsuits, most notably the multi-billion-dollar House case; disagreements over the NCAA’s new governance proposal, Project DI; and the unsettled landscape of athlete transfer movement, tampering charges and name, image, and likeness (NIL) inducements,” he continued.
College football will not look the same ever again, but change is sometimes needed to shake up the game and breathe exciting new legacies.
