Apparently the SEC and Big East are closing in on a deal for a series of games similar to the ACC/B10 Challenge. Sounds like a great deal.

Big East & SEC near series deal

INDIANAPOLIS - The ACC-Big Ten Challenge is about to get one-upped.

The Southeastern Conference has engaged the Big East in discussions for a similar series that one insider told the Daily News "are looking pretty serious." The SEC also has explored a series with the Big 12 as a possible fallback.

Were the SEC and Big East to consummate their deal - with a series of 8-10 games annually - it would bring together two conferences that sent a combined 14 teams to this year's NCAA Tournament.

"One of the things that could make it work is that fact that all the teams involved play in the same two time zones," a second insider said. The games would be broadcast on ESPN should the sides reach an agreement.
