"The Big Ten and the SEC have substantial investment in the NCAA and there is no question that the voices of our two conferences are integral to governance and other reform efforts," Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti said. "We recognize the similarity in our circumstances, as well as the urgency to address the common challenges we face."

We do not expect to agree on everything but enhancing interaction between our conferences will help to focus efforts on common sense solutions."
