One permanent cross over then rotate.

BC/UNC, UofL/WF. NCST/CUSE, with Clemson being permanent.

I think that's a terrific idea. I'm serious. I will enjoy watching unc fans lose their shite.

I don't think you understand - the Big Ten model is not one or the other, it's BOTH. For FSU, that probably means 9 ACC games + home-and-home with Florida + 1 P5 neutral site payday + 1 G5 home game one-and-done.

No more FCS
+ Only one G5
+ 11 P5 games
= Instant SoS.

REPEAT: I think this ONLY happens in exchange for a profitable cable network.
If the only benefit is SoS, let each school handle their own schedules.
If the only benefit is playing ACC teams more often, let them schedule each other as OOC games (like UNC and Wake)
This MUST be held back as a bargaining chip for an ACC Network - NO OTHER REASON!

So give up a home game ever other year? Meh.

If the sec doesn't have to do that, why make the acc's best schools do it and fall behind the sec in a different area?

It's simply not a good solution.

Now, if you can give me Clemson, Miami and one of Louisville, Georgia tech and Virginia tech every year with the remaining two of ul/gt/vt every other year, then we can talk. You don't scratch my back, I sure as heck ain't scratching yours.
