The ACC should have gotten this straightened out when they finally went to the 3-5-5 schedule.

With 3-5-5 in place, BC, Pitt and Syracuse now all play each other every year.

Pitt has the BC and Syracuse games split each season.  One is at home and one is on the road.  Ideal situation.  Good for them.

Syracuse and BC play the other 2 northern ACC schools both at home one year, both on the road the other.  Not cool.

One solution to get things all aligned is to treat the coming SU-Pitt game at YS in 2024 as a neutral site game and pick up the schedule from there where they left off.

So Syracuse would host Pitt in 2024, and play at Pitt in 2035, and so on.

To get all three aligned right, I would see if BC and Pitt would be interested in moving the 2024 BC-Pitt game currently scheduled for BC to Yankee Stadium.  Pay them both a nice guarantee.  BC doesn't draw squat for home games against Pitt so this would end up making both BC and Pitt more money.  And give both teams a game in an area they like to recruit.

Then, just as proposed for the SU-Pitt series, pick up the BC-Pitt series in 2025 where it left off, so Pitt plays at BC that year, and BC plays at Pitt in 2026.  And so on.

Current schedule:

2023 BC @ SU, Pitt @ SU (YS), BC @ Pitt
2024 SU @ BC, SU @ Pitt, Pitt @ BC
2025 BC @ SU, Pitt @ SU, BC @ Pitt
2026 SU @ BC, SU @ Pitt, Pitt @ BC

Proposed schedule:

2023 BC @ SU, Pitt vs SU (now neutral site game), BC @ Pitt
2024 SU @ BC, Pitt @ SU, Pitt vs BC (at YS, now neutral site game)
2025 BC @ SU, SU @ Pitt, Pitt @ BC
2026 SU @ BC, Pitt @ SU, BC @ Pitt

Should only impact the 3 schools involved.

If the SU-UConn game in 2024 has been scheduled for YS, make it a home game for Syracuse and move the SU-UConn game at YS to one of the seasons we are scheduled to play UConn at home.

Let's hope games at Yankee Stadium go away for the next couple of decades.  Enough is enough.
