While I would love this arrangement


I'm wondering how much influence broadcast partners (ie ESPN) would have on what finally would shake out. This type of change would require their involvement, obviously.

Because 9 games works, too. Your division, another entire division and half of a third. The following year, your division, the whole division you did not play the year before, and the other half of the third division. you play everyone twice every four year cycle.

I'm not sure why, but I know the B12's contract has the nine conference game clause in it.

I think we would all prefer the 7 game, but would the networks allow us to do that? Is there any sort of NCAA rule that would prohibit the ACC from going to a 7 game schedule?
