So apparently the B1G is against the ACC/Big XII push for deregulation:

Well the PAC 12 supports it

you figured someone had to be against it as they kept saying everyone was in favor of it, yet nothing changed. figures its the big 10

I thought the B1G was considering going division less.

Interesting. It seems like the B1G amendment is fine with the total number of teams in a conference being less than 12, but wants to ensure any championship game is played between "division" winners.

If passed with this amendment, the B12 could still be at 10, play a round-round schedule, but the teams in the conference would have to be divided into "artificial" divisions, which for them would be two divisions of 5, but be meaningless with a round-robin scheduling format.

What isn't clear to me is does the amendment restrict the conference to 2 divisions and only 2 divisions or could there be 3 divisions of 5 or 4 divisions of 4 with the conference championship game being between 2 of those 3 or 4 division winners?

Regardless of the answer of that question it does appear that the ACC may not get what it supposedly wanted with their proposal - the right for the conference to determine which teams play in the CCG.

However it does appear that, if passed with the B1G amendment, the ACC could keep its current divisional format as is (which appears to be what the ADs/coaches want), but would not be able to decide that it's CCG could be Clemson vs FSU this year instead of Clemson vs UNC simply because FSU is rated higher than UNC in the final CFP Poll.

I don't want the ACC to be able to cherry pick teams for the championship game. Let them reshuffle the deck if they want Clemson to face Florida State at the end of the season. I am all for them moving teams around or creating three or four divisions.

Like it or not folks The ACC just changed with all the new coaches. The ACC has an opportunity to increase it's depth with all the fresh starts. Exciting times ahead for the conference.
