Problem is that the ACC does not have

A lot of compelling match ups like the SEC and B1G

ACC needs marquee matchups, stop the cross over & rotate 2 each year -- Stech 11/12/2021 4:31PM

I think getting rid in divisions help -- Mercury 11/13/2021 01:09AM

Yep get rid of the divisions, use Quads for scheduling, up for my post. -- Stech 11/13/2021 07:27AM

I see you slid in navy grin in your campaign HAH HAH -- Mercury 11/13/2021 10:02AM

Now if we can crazy in pods -- Mercury 11/13/2021 2:27PM

Yes, the Coalition scheduling can easily happen w/ no Divisions & Pod sched -- Stech 11/13/2021 2:34PM

Best one-on-one strategy against Allen Iverson: Just stop the crossover. ** -- KCHokie2 11/13/2021 12:20AM

The problem though is a majority of the ACC schools have rivals as -- VTHokie2000 11/13/2021 10:17AM

The ACC has bigger problems than protecting "rivalry" games -- Vippie1 11/15/2021 6:03PM

The ACC could eliminate the division if it wants to right now, -- VTHokie2000 11/15/2021 6:10PM

Let them schedule them as OOC games. ** -- EDGEMAN 11/13/2021 11:02AM

Do you honestly believe VT and UVA would be willing to reserve an OOC -- VTHokie2000 11/13/2021 11:09AM

We are currently in the same division, so it isn't required ** -- EDGEMAN 11/13/2021 2:12PM

I know that, but my point is Stech is suggesting that the majority -- VTHokie2000 11/13/2021 5:21PM

Yes, but in terms of forced rivalries the ACC only has 2 -- VTHokie2000 11/15/2021 07:38AM

7-8-9 team conferences produced more rivalries -- mrcaniac 11/16/2021 9:01PM

As I noted below, the SEC doesn't seem to have any problem -- VTHokie2000 11/17/2021 10:08AM

Rearrange divisions to fix that. ** -- wwhokie1 11/12/2021 10:59PM

There are too many rivalries that schools want to protect though -- VTHokie2000 11/13/2021 10:08AM

Allow schools to have only one rivalry protected. ** -- wwhokie1 11/13/2021 5:41PM

That won't fly with most schools though because majority have more than 1 -- VTHokie2000 11/13/2021 5:56PM

That's just what happens when you expand conferences and form divisions -- wwhokie1 11/13/2021 6:43PM

Hence why the teams will vote to continue with the protected -- VTHokie2000 11/13/2021 6:49PM

Play that game OOC, it can be fixed that way just like Wake and UNC did Sat ** -- Stech 11/12/2021 4:51PM

That was once in a blue moon though. Neither school is willing to dedicate -- VTHokie2000 11/12/2021 4:58PM

I’d rather they do my initial proposal, but what you propose is better than -- Stech 11/12/2021 5:08PM

The problem with your proposal is that VT isn't making the same sacrifice -- VTHokie2000 11/12/2021 5:19PM

The whole Conference has a problem with not playing other divisions teams -- Stech 11/12/2021 6:00PM

If the whole conference has a problem with it, then they have the power -- VTHokie2000 11/12/2021 6:13PM

I think frustration is building from not playing more, but time will tell** -- Stech 11/12/2021 6:41PM

If frustration is building, then the schools and only the schools -- VTHokie2000 11/13/2021 10:12AM

Agree it’s on them & Swofford’s lack of leadership on scheduling. -- Stech 11/13/2021 10:34AM

Given that the ACC has a lot of rivalries worth protecting. -- VTHokie2000 11/13/2021 10:45AM

One of the reasons we lack passionate matchups is the zipper model, all we -- Stech 11/13/2021 1:12PM
