Some random observations -
- UVa has to play UNC and Va Tech each year; beyond that, the third slot is wide open.
- Duke has played Ga Tech every year starting in 1937.  That probably helped to convince Ga Tech to join the ACC as the replacement for South Carolina.
- Louisville is over 100 miles closer to Va Tech than it is to UVa.  The fans on the Louisville board are already clamoring for a switch of the annual crossover game to them from us.  The reason they play UVa each year in football and basketball is that when Maryland left, Greensboro simply took everyone's schedules and wherever "Maryland" appeared, they crossed it out and wrote in "Louisville".  They even picked up Maryland's home-away rotations in the Olympic Sports.
- As [USER=652]Alsacs[/USER] mentioned, Ga Tech is the nearest school to Florida State.
- It's easy to overestimate how much say UVa has in choosing its third partner.
- The scheduling won't change until the present rule about championship games is changed.  That would require the SEC and B1G to admit the ACC isn't going to implode.  The crazy thing is, the big guns of the SEC and B1G, especially Penn State, would benefit the most from 3-5-5.
