There’s plenty of details to still be worked out with the Alliance and this is just one major example. The formation of the Alliance is coming in response to Big 12 teams Oklahoma and Texas getting set to eventually join the SEC.
The B1G season kicks off on Aug. 28 with a matchup between visiting Nebraska and host Illinois (1 p.m. EST/FOX).
