The Big 10 didn't hesitate to do what was best for them. I'm sure they didn't even have the Alliance anywhere in their collective minds when they made their moves.

Was the rest of college athletics collectively saying they wouldn't let the SEC make all the rules, and were willing to join collectively to make sure that didn't happen.

You summed it up nicely, and the SEC still got what they wanted.

It was a way for the B1G to say they were better than the SEC after the SEC raided the Big 12 for Texas and Oklahoma. Then Fox told the B1G they wanted USC and UCLA, and everything changed.

When there's money involved, verbal alliances are quaint, but not worth much. It's dog eat dog.
