Conference realignment updates, Mystery Teams for 2022 (07/06)

The Cover 3 discusses Big Ten expansion, what’s next for the Pac-12 and more. First, a deep dive into the latest on the conference realignment, starting with one factor driving the schools that might be attractive to the Big Ten (4:00). Then it’s on to reports of the Big 12 targeting Pac-12 schools for its own expansion (15:10) and where the ACC stands, including whether the Grant of Rights is strong enough to keep the Big Ten and SEC from poaching the league’s most valuable brands (24:00). Finally the focus turns back to the action on the field, spotlighting teams that experts can’t agree on because of their wildcard status. Oklahoma State (40:15), Michigan State (46:30), Ole Miss (49:30), Kansas State (54:00), Miami (56:00) and more all get discussed as we look at the “Mystery Teams” for 2022. Cover 3 is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox and wherever else you listen to podcasts. Nominate the Cover 3 Podcast in the “Sports” category of the The People’s Choice Podcast Awards! http://podcastawards.com/app/signupGet 20% off Cover 3 merch in the CBS Sports Store: https://store.cbssports.com/collections/cover-3?utm_source=podcast-apple-com&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=buy-our-merch&amp;utm_content=cover-3-collectionWatch Cover 3 on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/cover3Follow our hosts on Twitter: @Chip_Patterson, @TomFornelli, @DannyKanell, @BudElliott3For more college football coverage from CBS Sports, visit <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.cbssports.com_college-2Dfootball_&amp;d=DwMFaQ&amp;c=jGUuvAdBXp_V ...
