The SEC & Big 10 are on the clock, according to...

[Bobby Burton]

Ross Dellenger of Yahoo! Sports.

The SEC and Big 10 have both been given a deadline of 9am tomorrow to give their support or not.

As I wrote earlier today, some of the compromises made recently by the senate bill are moves in the right direction. But they are not complete concessions, which I believe is necessary to move this bill forward.

What is the difference between a compromise and a concession?

Forcing Texas to play Texas Tech or any other team, for example, is something that never should have been addressed in the bill in the first place. But somehow meaningful legacy pieces of it remain because of the idiocy of putting it in there in the first place.

In other words, the start of this bill was so bad and so lopsided at the start that getting to any sort of real agreement was far fetched.

Now, we wait to see the SEC and Big 10 response.

By all means, give an ultimatum to the two conferences whose support you must have. Arrogance created this bill and arrogance will kill it.

let it burn, or break off.  no one is interested in a Texas Tech vs North Carolina national championship game.    break off and have a big 10  vs SEC champion every year.  have programs like the sunbelt, Mac, and Wac agree to play the SEC and Big 10 for revenue and call it a day

Tell the congressional committee to take a long walk on a short  pier!

Even if you want to give the other side a deadline to respond or support, that timeline is ridiculous! They've been revising it as they go along. It's been a moving target. 

Maybe more importantly, what is the leverage for the threat? The Big 10 and SEC don't support, they threaten to pass it?! They support and it passes. OK!
