Finally we stop the challenge with a conference that is stealing our teams and trying to destroy us. Hopefully it's replaced by a Big 12/Big 10 Challenge that's in December, instead of the end of January.
Yeah the breakup is happening because the Big10-ACC challenge is ending due to ESPN losing all Big10 coverage. ESPN already announced it's doing an SEC-ACC challenge instead since it owns all that coverage.
It could either be a Big10-Big12 challenge, or have the PAC-12 in the mix if the PAC-12 still exists.
I wonder if FOX does do a Big12/Big10 challenge, if they just have Iowa State vs Iowa count as the challenge every year....Big 12/Big Ten and Big 12/Big East is the perfect set to me.
Assuming the former materializes and the latter continues, this is an upgrade!

I hope the Big10/Big 12 thing happens, but I can see those Big 10 pricks saying they'd rather not have a conference challenge than partner with the Big 12.
They will do what’s best for business. Same as everyone else. People need to stop thinking that competitive considerations mean anything in CFB & CBB for the schools and the business partners. Not in scheduling, not in challenges, not in realignment, not in anything.
