These two mega conferences are likely threatening to leave the NCAA and start their own mega league and want everyone else to bend over and take whatever is being offered. Call the bluff, let them go.

The new Big10/SEC basketball tournament isn’t going to be watched by too many people aside from alums of the participating schools. The NCAA tournament will remain a multi billion dollar enterprise.

ESPN isn’t going to pay the same money for a football playoff that’s only Big10/SEC. I have a strong feeling that these two conferences will be quite disappointed at the bottom line if they form their own league.
