Too many teams in that model from Forde.

Idiotic to believe we should be playing football with the likes of UMass in conference.  No problems playing them ooc.

Round it down to 80 teams.  There are about 80 teams nationally that can draw 30K legit fans to games.

Do either 8 leagues of 10 teams or 4 leagues of 20.  If you went big... make 5 pods of 4.  Play everyone in your pod every year.  Rotate the other four pods every two years.  You would play every team twice every 8 years.

This would give you a 9 game conference schedule.  3 OOC games.  Downside is Clemson, FSU, Notre Dame won't be estatic that some long term OOC rivals might be problematic to schedule.

My ACC big plan would be to take the best of the Big 12.  Why 5 pods vs 4 pods?  Geography is easier but the other plan works too if we dropout either ND or WVU and add another TX team.

BC
Cuse
Pitt
Miami (or ND)

FSU
ND (or Miami)
Ville
Wake

UNC
Duke
Clemson
Ga Tech

UVA
VA Tech
NC State
WVU (or UCF)

Texas
Oklahoma
TCU (or Baylor)
Oklahoma St (or Houston)
