Auburn football: CFB fans laugh at the idea of ACC-Big Ten-Pac-12 Alliance

When Texas and Oklahoma declared their intentions of joining Auburn football in the SEC, the rest of the college football world knew the game had changed forever.

So to combat college football’s most dominant conference picking up two of the highest revenue-producing programs in the nation, the next best three conferences formed the ‘Alliance’ to “support student-athlete well-being, academic and athletic opportunities, experiences and diverse educational programming.”

In laymen’s terms, the ACC, Big Ten, and Pac-12 are essentially joining forces to promote the importance of their member schools’ biggest games by agreeing to schedule more inter-conference games between the three conferences.

And, in true 2021 fashion, are trying to insult our intelligence by claiming that it was made with a purpose greater than simply trying to compete with the SEC:

There was never talk of an alliance before the SEC got Texas and Oklahoma, so needless to say, this was a deal done to lower the amount of influence the SEC will have with two extra schools counting for two extra member votes on issues.

Fans see through this charade, though, and are laughing at all the effort it took for the three conferences to continue to watch the SEC collect championships:

When it comes down to it, it’s going to take a massive culture shift from the northeast, midwest, and west coast to have football be taken as seriously as it is in the south. The de-emphasis of sports in those regions has already caused the ACC, Big Ten, and Pac-12 to fall way behind the SEC to the point of top teams not already in the conference looking for entry to the SEC by any means.

The ‘Alliance’ doesn’t do a single thing to change that.

So, Auburn football fans, remember that Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, and Georgia are still the greatest obstacles to a championship. Fine…and Clemson. And Ohio State some years.

No need to worry about what the second citizens of college football are doing to cope with college football just meaning more in the southeast.
