I’d have to think the New Big 12 will do this as well

WVU, Cincinnati and UCF all play yearly.
Old Big 8 and Texas schools do the same.
Being a 12 team conference playing nine games a season you only miss two teams per year.

ACC close to eliminating Divisions soon (LINK)**
Stech • 02/09/22 12:40 PM ET
They should also go to 9 conference games, but they won't.
Mr. Touchdown • 02/11/22 12:15 PM ET
The problem with a 9 conference game schedule is it limits a team's

This means acc got the votes
Mercury • 02/10/22 08:06 AM ET
So who would be #15(16)?**
Millpoint • 02/10/22 08:45 AM ET
West Virginia and Navy, 1 for rivalries, the other for location, national
Stech • 02/12/22 01:53 AM ET
Espn will tell them
Sunsetunderground • 02/10/22 09:14 AM ET
Why would ESPN agree to up 14 member’s pay just to get
Colonel Jessup • 02/11/22 11:37 AM ET
Folks too tactical
Mercury • 02/13/22 07:21 AM ET
Not just WV
Sunsetunderground • 02/11/22 01:59 PM ET
Personally, I'd rather the ACC partner w NBC and along w ND broadcasts,
BAMRising • 02/11/22 09:31 AM ET
NBC is out of Major Sports now
Mercury • 02/11/22 09:56 AM ET
It won't be ND
TerryD • 02/10/22 12:30 PM ET
Longhorn network ? Wonder if the Irish would want one
Sunsetunderground • 02/10/22 01:02 PM ET
No
TerryD • 02/10/22 01:09 PM ET
Not to be argumentative

obguthr • 02/10/22 07:31 PM ET
Thats my thinking as well
Mercury • 02/10/22 09:28 AM ET
AD Shane Lyons shot down any WVU to ACC speculation in December
Millpoint • 02/11/22 08:51 AM ET
I think any Big 12 team would gladly jump to the ACC now.
Truthahn • 02/13/22 09:45 PM ET
Come on// this is NOT for any average person discussion and debate
Mercury • 02/11/22 10:03 AM ET
One thing I've constantly heard from our media in Morgantown
Millpoint • 02/11/22 10:00 PM ET
VT's AD shot down any ACC talk in 2003 as well.
Victor Tango • 02/11/22 09:27 AM ET
Agree 100%
Millpoint • 02/11/22 10:20 AM ET
Exactly**
Mercury • 02/11/22 10:07 AM ET
I’ve heard Memphis and Boise St are on deck**
Millpoint • 02/10/22 09:04 PM ET
Hopefully the ACC won't screw this up. Go 3 permanent rivals, rotate others
Maroon Baboon • 02/09/22 07:19 PM ET
The pods are simply a scheduling tool for better rotation
Mercury • 02/11/22 08:32 AM ET
You realize you will have permanent inequitable schedules FOREVER
Vippie1 • 02/10/22 11:08 AM ET
No matter how you do it, there will be inequitable schedules**
wwhokie1 • 02/10/22 01:40 PM ET
Rivalries matter. And they matter more than equitable schedules.
Maroon Baboon • 02/10/22 01:39 PM ET
Exactly. This issue is just another reason why increasing the size
VTHokie2000 • 02/10/22 01:49 PM ET
The rivalries matter to the schools and their fans though
VTHokie2000 • 02/10/22 12:02 PM ET
Yes. ANNUAL rivalries are where it's at.
Maroon Baboon • 02/10/22 01:47 PM ET
If you feel ACC need 3 built in games every season
Vippie1 • 02/10/22 03:07 PM ET
No. How is adding two teams going to allow us to play more often?
Maroon Baboon • 02/10/22 03:18 PM ET
Even if the ACC added 1 team (i.e. WVU) and opted to go with 3 quads/pods
VTHokie2000 • 02/10/22 03:48 PM ET
Certainly adding teams would complicate matters.
Maroon Baboon • 02/10/22 04:32 PM ET
Yes, adding teams would complicate matters
VTHokie2000 • 02/10/22 04:47 PM ET
3 Permanent rivals seems to only work with an even amount of teams.
Maroon Baboon • 02/10/22 05:40 PM ET
FWIW I did something similar when the MAC had 13 football members
VTHokie2000 • 02/10/22 06:06 PM ET
14 is actually a good number
obguthr • 02/10/22 08:24 PM ET
Assuming WVU became the 15th team, then limiting the protected games
VTHokie2000 • 02/11/22 02:31 AM ET
I'd be fine with just giving each individual school what it needs
Maroon Baboon • 02/11/22 03:15 PM ET
A problem with customizing the number of protected games for each school
VTHokie2000 • 02/12/22 06:13 AM ET
As long as no team has more than 3 and we play 5 or more additional ACC
Maroon Baboon • 02/12/22 10:43 AM ET
I'm a little surprised that you think UNC is the only team that "needs" 3
VTHokie2000 • 02/13/22 12:47 AM ET
I'd like to play WVU every year. But we aren't doing it now, so that is
Maroon Baboon • 02/13/22 01:30 AM ET
I'm not sure NC State "could live" without playing Wake since they
VTHokie2000 • 02/14/22 01:21 PM ET
To be honest
Millpoint • 02/11/22 10:22 AM ET
I wouldn't assume that WVU would get stuck with L'ville
VTHokie2000 • 02/12/22 06:22 AM ET
NC State is probably another that needs 3 (UNC, Wake, Clemson)
VTHokie2000 • 02/10/22 01:58 PM ET
Gawd, HOKIES getting into the weeds AGAIN
Mercury • 02/10/22 09:31 AM ET
UVa needs to keep playing UNC.
Maroon Baboon • 02/10/22 01:19 PM ET
As long as VT gets to maintain that heated rivalry with BC**
Millpoint • 02/09/22 07:30 PM ET
That's who we are going to get stuck with in that plan.**
EDGEMAN • 02/09/22 09:59 PM ET
The only way the ACC will ever let VT get a divorce from BC
VTHokie2000 • 02/09/22 10:32 PM ET
That's why we don't need "permanent rival" games!
EDGEMAN • 02/09/22 10:46 PM ET
This x 1000**
hokie4ever • 02/10/22 01:25 PM ET
I suspect you (and VT) would be in the minority on that issue
VTHokie2000 • 02/10/22 01:55 AM ET
BC should play Syracuse, Miami, and Pitt each year. Not VT.
Maroon Baboon • 02/10/22 12:04 AM ET
Oh don't worry the ACC will make sure that VT ends up with BC, Syracuse,
VTHokie2000 • 02/09/22 07:32 PM ET
This makes so much sense for the ACC
Millpoint • 02/09/22 01:31 PM ET
That's not necessarily an "always"
Pylons • 02/10/22 10:45 AM ET
Then choose two best teams by CFP rankings
Millpoint • 02/10/22 08:42 PM ET
I doubt any conference is going to want to crown a champion
Pylons • 02/12/22 03:04 PM ET
It will be interesting to see how many conferences do opt to go
VTHokie2000 • 02/09/22 06:45 PM ET
I can't really see a way that it hurts**
Pylons • 02/10/22 11:15 AM ET
It may not be a matter of whether it helps or hurts the conference
VTHokie2000 • 02/10/22 11:46 AM ET
You brought up the perception of helping or hurting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯**
Pylons • 02/10/22 12:05 PM ET
And if you re-read my post then you will I'm not talking about the concept
VTHokie2000 • 02/10/22 12:19 PM ET
I think the New Big 12 will be in on it too
Millpoint • 02/09/22 07:23 PM ET
Given that the Big XII is spread out, it makes sense for that
VTHokie2000 • 02/09/22 07:30 PM ET
I’d have to think the New Big 12 will do this as well ◄
Millpoint • 02/09/22 08:21 PM ET
I noticed you left out BYU. How do they fit into your equation?**
VTHokie2000 • 02/09/22 08:23 PM ET
I guess they become the new WVU
Millpoint • 02/09/22 09:17 PM ET
From a scheduling standpoint, I would think everyone would need to follow
VTHokie2000 • 02/09/22 10:23 PM ET
As crazy as this sounds
Millpoint • 02/09/22 08:15 PM ET
I do see why you say that. At the same time, doesn't the Big Ten
VTHokie2000 • 02/09/22 08:21 PM ET
Why just two best teams? Let's have a playoff with the four best teams.
IB4TECH • 02/09/22 02:54 PM ET
Can't come soon enough!**
