loved the 3 permanent rivals he picked for each school. it makes sense. note that syracuse isn't one of miami's permanent rivals in this setup, but since you can play everyone in two years with this setup, they could/would be guaranteed annual games against a florida team, a virginia team, at least one NC team and GT/Clemson (atlanta to greenville/spartanburg). that might be enough to make them happy.

The writer of the article sold me....its really stupid to not do it that way
Better than what we have. Better than most of the hypothetical models posted all over the internet. But for my own fan experience, I wish we would use a model that would re-establish all the Tobacco Road games.
This makes too much sense. NCAA probably won't go along with it.
If they allow this change for the conference to decide how to crown it's Champion with leagues with 12 or more schools this world be perfect.
The ACC should just copy and paste the permanent schools and rotate the rest...
The 14 school conferences would all benefit greatly from a uni-division setup. 3 locked rivals and rotate everyone else over the other 5 or 6 conference games each season. If the SEC moves to 9 games as has been speculated lately and with the Big Ten moving to 9 games its ideal. You play 3 teams annually, 6 of the other 10 schools in a given year in that situation. Realistically for some players you'd come in and face up to 5 schools annually all 4 years you're there. What would happen is you get 3 teams annually no matter what, 2 teams for 4 years straight before they rotate off and 4 schools 2 years before they rotate off.
As long as you guarantee me (Louisville) these 3 permanent annual rivals, I'm in. Having Miami on our schedule every year would be ideal of us.
Regardless of what happens in football, ACC baseball needs to scrap the divisions and go to a model similar to this by next season.
The ACC baseball divisions serve no purpose.
It makes sense at first glance.
I'm not one who would cares too much other than playing the annual game with Syracuse but I think Pitt would be pretty annoyed getting neither VT or Miami. I don't think anyone at Pitt cares much at all about UVA or BC. I think Louisville and Pitt should split VT/Miami and one gets BC and one gets UVA.

Hopefully that January meeting will come down in the next week or 2 and we'll have a new division in football and all these simple things that will help the P5 will get passed.

That's a problem. Maybe swap VT or Miami's Louisville partnership to Pitt. Miami should be playing BC, that's an easy fix.
I posted a better version of this already. Miami vs. Pitt will be an annual season finale so he already messed that up.
