Biggest questions for Clemson football with the ACC, Big Ten, Pac-12 alliance

4.  How are the leading conference brands going to benefit?

We’re talking about this from a Clemson football perspective, so it’s certainly a fair question.

Maintaining an alliance to keep Syracuse, Wake Forest, Rutgers, California, Oregon State and Purdue afloat or relevant simply isn’t going to cut it.

If this alliance is going to be formed and done properly, it needs to be done with the benefits of the leading conference brands in mind.

We’re talking Clemson, Florida State, Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon and USC, for example. There needs to be an added benefit for those schools, especially if they’re going to be scheduling one another and other schools from out-of-conference.

An alliance could allow the ACC an opportunity to potentially renegotiate its deal. The Big Ten and Pac-12 will have their deals come up soon. The days of equal revenue are out the door and that needs to be on full display with anything pertaining to an alliance of conferences.
