If this has already been linked, I missed it. In any event, you have to give credit to Matt Hayes for what he wrote 5 months ago about the future of college football:

"Let me put it in less tactful and more realistic terms: The SEC and Big Ten are betting with a full house of aces over kings. The best hand at the rest of the table is a pair of twos.
All that’s left now is to win the hand, split the pot and walk away from the table.
And for some reason, no one other than the SEC and Big Ten thinks they’ll do it...
This is institutionally and purposefully reckless behavior from every president of the ACC who voted to shelve Playoff expansion for 4 more years until the end of the current deal – and to come back in a couple of years with a temperature check.
Too bad the patient – college sports as we know it — could be dead.
They tried to warn the ACC and everyone else among the FBS 10 conferences hung up on procedural issues of Playoff expansion that this would happen. No one took heed.
Now SEC commissioner Greg Sankey suddenly isn’t eliminating the idea of further expansion. Now the Big Ten is quickly walking back from the Alliance.
The fuse has been lit, everyone. Stand back and take cover..."
