I think the ACC would be more open to stuff like this now.


What happened in the 90s when Maryland, Duke, and Wake were playing their home games in Florida against FSU, it looked like they were forfeiting the games and letting FSU play the majority of its ACC games like home games. FSU was dominating the league worse than they do today, and it wasn't fair to other teams trying hard to compete with FSU.

Circumstances are different today. That said, the league doesn't want to lose control. Just this season the Miami vs ND baseball series was in South Bend. Due to bad weather Miami offered to host it, but since it was a ND home series, the ACC said No.
