Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 16531, member: 285"] I think you're probably on the money with the alignment. K says as much in his quotes today. "Krzyzewski said he would like to see the ACC go to 16 for an easy eight-team divisional split in basketball and football with champions of two divisions. "[B]We can keep the round robin in each division and keep some tradition,"[/B] Krzyzewski said. "I wouldn't want to see one line of 14 or 16 teams. One of the weaknesses of the current Big East is that you never know who plays one another. The SEC hasn't been able to define their two divisions in basketball as well as they have in football." I read his quote to say this is pretty good as long as you don't with the Carolina schools getting their home and away series against each other each year. It's wonderful for football, but an absolute blow job for basketball. On our hoops schedule... We keep games against Pitt and Notre Dame...oh Boy! Lose UConn get home and away with Maryland in return Lose Nova get home and away with BC in return Lose Louisville get home and away with Miami in return Lose Georgetown get home and away with Va Tech in return Lose West Virginia get home and away with UVA in return We also drop games against Cincy, Marquette and St. John's ..... we'll get to play UNC and Duke every now and then and in the Dome every once in a blue moon. If they rotate two games against the other division on a fair basis doesn't that mean we play each team once every four years and have that team in our place just once every 8 years? If they increase to an 18 game schedule then you'd play UNC and Duke every other year and seem in our place every four years. Seems like hoops is taking one big time for the athletic department, lets hope the football program can capitalize on the opportunity because its seems like a huge gamble to me. [/QUOTE]
