ACC ADs approve 9/10 schedule model

Figured this was coming but not a fan. Less good out of conference games. Meh. The ACC is unattractive from a matchup standpoint. More ACC games is unappealing.

Other than those special opening day games, most schools did not schedule any really good OOC games. Most opted for a winnable G5 game. I do like the P4 OOC mandate to change that way of thinking.

The other 3 Power 4 leagues have already gone to 9 games, which reduces the ACC teams' options to schedule high-level OOC games.

Drop Uconn or Toledo at home? They need not to lose a home game.

Best outcome would be replacing UConn with another home game.

No way they drop ND at home.

I think the UConn game is on the road the next two years.

But as others reminded me, looks like this won't start until 2027. If it did start in 2026, and everyone else is going to keep playing FCS games, then the road trip to UConn is the first to go.
