The ACC, Big Ten, and Pac-12 announced on Tuesday they will form a college sports alliance that will join together all 41 institutions that are members of the three conferences.

The college sports powerhouses – which include universities like the University of North Carolina, Michigan State and Stanford – will join together in "a collaborative approach surrounding the future evolution of college athletics and scheduling," according to a statement by the three conferences.

"This new alliance will prioritize student-athlete well-being and athletic opportunities, experiences, and diverse educational programming."
