We should lobby to expand the Hawaii rule. Could get 8 or 9 extra games.

Change it to an extra home game for anyone that travels 5+ hours to a game. That would be very helpful to the ACC. Boston to SFO, and Miami to SFO are both an hour longer flight time than San Francisco to Honolulu (6h30m vs 5h30m). Even Pittsburgh to San Francisco is 5 minutes longer. Every ACC location is a 5+ hour flight, except SMU. Having extra ACC hosted football games each year would really help our TV and ticket revenue. I think it would be eight or nine extra games. Stanford and Cal would get one every year, and everyone else playing at those locations would get one except SMU. ** Edited by Truthahn at 9/6/2023, 11:17:16 AM
