As Chris and Will have stated the cost of non-conference opponents has sky rocketed and that's one of the reasons you see is scheduling long term with ODU and Liberty.

Doesn't it make a lot of sense for most ACC teams to add another conference game to save money and to also increase the value of the TV contract?

And, quite frankly I don't see the non-conference opponents getting cheaper. The SEC and Big Ten have tons more money than ACC and most other Power 5 schools. Wouldn't it make sense to set the non-conference rates higher so they can affect the budgets of the other Power 5 schools?
