Okay … a few things here:
First off — Very thoughtful and thorough piece, VAWolf82.
Second — Where on God’s green earth do you find the time to compose such a detailed composition? It amazes me the time some of you have to devote to thought-filled analytics. It beats anything these pay-services want you to subscribe.
Finally — I know this will NEVER happen. But … humor me: What if we expand the conference to 16 Teams? I imagine the ACC could then separate into two unique divisions.
For this example (again … just humor me) let’s call it Old ACC vs. New ACC. Each division would have 8 unique teams. Each division would play a full round robin with one cross-over game from the other division per season.
Now, their are obvious problems that the folks in G-Town probably just wouldn’t ever go for. Not to mention the coaches. It would require a 22-game conference schedule. But … again … humor me: Think of how this would play?
You’re never going to satisfy everyone. But … maybe you could at least pacify the majority. A good portion of the “Old Big East” would be re-established … and we would get our cozy little “Old ACC” Conference back.
SO … here goes:
OLD ACC
NC State
UNC
DUKE
Wake Forest
Clemson
Florida State
Georgia Tech
Virginia
New ACC
PITT
Syracuse
Boston College
Louisville
Miami
Virgina Tech
Notre Dame
*EXPANDED TEAM
Who would the expanded team be? I’ll leave that for you all to ponder.
Any thoughts on this proposal?
