A problem with customizing the number of protected games for each school


will increase the likelihood that there will be more quirks with the future rotation schedule. For example, VT may not see an increase in the number of times it plays Clemson or FSU because VT's turn in the rotation gets "bumped" for 1 of their protected games. Instead, of playing Clemson or FSU more, VT could end up playing BC or Wake more. If you look at the future rotation schedule for both the Big Ten and Pac-12, then you will see what mean.

Big Ten: Indiana-Purdue is the only protected cross-division game. Compare how many times teams play Indiana or Purdue compared to the other teams in the division.

Pac-12: Cal, Stanford, UCLA, and USC have 2 protected cross-division games so they can play the other 2 CA in the other division every year. Compare how frequently the other 8 members play each other compared to the 2 CA schools in the other division.

For the record, I'm not opposed to the idea. However, if the ACC opts to go this route, then some schools and/or their fans may not like it because it doesn't increase the frequency they play every team in the other division.
