Took a look at the entire ACC schedule. With an odd number of teams there will always be at least one team with no weekend game. Guess it's the same for midweek but I was too lazy to track. So you either schedule a non-conference game in the middle of the conference season - no one wants to do that - or have a bye weekend in effect. For the 9 weekends from January 9th though the end of the season 8 teams were unscheduled on a weekend. Clemson lost two weekends. The Cuse break of 8 days without a game is the longest but Va. Tech and Clemson had full 7 day breaks. The rest were 5 or 6 days.

Can certainly debate the pros and cons. With a short rotation and Boeheim's earlier hiatus I fully expect this to be a net positive for Cuse with a little extra rest and a chance to tweak some things. But I think ideally you want all teams to play a weekend game during conference season. ACC should go to 16 and address the issue of an odd number of teams on the football side where you want to have an in season bye and OOC games later in the year are much more prevalent.
