The Alliance?

Or is the end game to isolate ND and force them out of independence? NBC moving a game exclusively to peacock might be a test to gauge value when the contract expires? Remember who drove the bus to CFP expansion? The SEC & ND

Maybe the miscalculation is that schools will follow the SEC lead. Maybe they'll slide the opposite direction, and force the SEC into a scenario where the only games they have would be among themselves, and DII teams looking for a payoff?

There's a lot of twists and turns that can happen. I'm not discounting anything except dancing unicorns at halftime in the Rose Bowl.

This comes down to what value you put on the Group of 5 conferences. Does UCF or Cincinnati help you? Easy answer no
You can add no one that is not already in a power 5 to make in stronger all the teams not in a power 5 are not in one for a reason.

I think Texas schools could make big ten better or at least more money
