This won't work because UVa and NC State both need to play UNC each year.

Here's what I've come up with.  In this one, 9 teams get to stay put and only 5 teams have to move.  I think it accomplishes what most are after.  The 9 that stay put do not cause any changes on other teams' schedules and their schedules only change to pick up the moves by the other 5.  Paired rivals are on the same line.

[U]Atlantic[/U]          [U]Coastal[/U]
FSU                Miami (they both keep their schedules)
Ga Tech          Clemson (they swap schedules)
NC State         UNC (they both keep their schedules)
Wake              Duke (they both keep their schedules)
VPI                 UVa (VPI picks up UMd's schedule and UVa keeps its schedule)
BC                   SU (BC keeps its schedule and SU picks up VPI's schedule)
Louisville        Pitt (Louisville picks up SU's schedule and Pitt keeps its schedule)

I think this is what Dr. Gross was looking for.  It gives you a game in Miami every other year, and you get to keep your yearly games with Pitt and BC.  It gives FSU a yearly game with Ga Tech (their closest neighbor).  The UVa-VPI game becomes a paired rival game rather than a division game, same with SU-BC (which would have been the pairing without the Va governor's meddling in the original expansion).  And Louisville gets to play Pitt each year for ownership of the Ohio River.
