Moving of ACC games

[kingottoiii]

I didn't realize that the ACC only plays 16 conference games. In terms of scheduling I was thinking they were at 18 and if they went up to 19 it wouldn't be a big deal. I wonder if they would be willing to move up 3 games? I would certainly add inventory and is best for getting as many teams twice as possible. IMO the ACC should;d schedule like this. However if 19 games you do not have a home and road balance. That is where the "moving" of games should come in.

I would have each team play 9 home and 9 away. Then for the 19th game play games in cities that the ACC wants to improve its presence. So one year you play double headers in Boston, Philly, Orlando and the next year you play double headers in NYC, DC, and Tampa. Having two ACC games at each venue would bring a lot of interest and TV eyeballs. This system of course would only cover 6 of the 7 games needed. For that last game you can play it in Charlotte every year, since NC is the ACC's home base. So it would be like below (this is just an example)...

Year 1
Boston- BC vs GA Tech and Duke vs Miami
Philly- MD vs Wake and Pitt vs UVA
Orlando- FSU vs VT and SU vs NC St
Charlotte- UNC vs Clemson

Year 2
NYC- SU vs Wake and UNC vs FSU
DC- MD vs Clemson and UVA vs NC St
Tampa- Miami vs BC and GA Tech vs Pitt
Charlotte- Duke vs VT

That's not a bad idea at all and I don't think anyone would mind. But I don't think TWO was thinking that far out of the box.

You should forward that to SU.

I think this is a good compromise.

That would be great for all of the SU fans who live in the Northeast corridor and are no longer going to have games at Providence, UConn, Rutgers, Seton Hall, St Johns, Nova and Georgetown.

Syracuse fans need to ask themselves how many other schools in the ACC would be interested in scheduling conference games at neutral sites. I don't believe Pitt or many other ACC schools would have the same level of interest in this scenario as SU which is already focusing on booking future games at Madison Square Garden.
