Who in their right mind would want to actually buy a “Division Champions” ring stamped with “8-4?” A Raleigh sports bar that wanted to showcase it for comedy’s sake?
As for mucking around with the conference championship game, how about balancing the two divisions so that one is not weak sauce year in and year out. Put Clemson and FSU opposite each other, which has the added bonus of making UNC and VT actually play a good team. Bring Miami over to the Atlantic to replace the lost member.
Or better, put the original 7 in one division and all the other ACC schools in the other.
