Neither side wants the D-1A teams to stop scheduling the D-1AA teams.  For the D-1A team, it's a guaranteed home game and a 80-90% guaranteed win.  For D-1AA team, it's a huge paycheck that will go a long way toward funding the rest of the athletic department for the year.  While I beyond-hate it, I'm part of a very small minority on our board; the other UVa fans love the idea of playing the VA D-1AA schools to the point that they think that our administration would vote against a proposed ban of that practice by ACC schools.

I think the end-game is 13 regular season games.  I've felt that way for some time.

I really don't understand the true purpose 9 conference games.  The system ALSACS devised with the VA and NC schools changing divisions every 2 years would allow the ACC members to play every other team home-and-home (not just once) every 6 years.  There is no section of the rule on championship games specifying how long teams have to be in a particular division.  So that eliminates "getting through the rotation faster" as an argument.

I don't know enough about to the money situation to understand how that 9th conference game means more money for the ACC from ESPN.  BTW, FSU would want Ga Tech because Atlanta actually is closer to Tally than Miami is.  Louisville would like to play Miami because they have a bunch of FL recruits, although many of their fans have advocated trading their "rivalry" game with us for one with VPI.
