1. Notre Dame is in the Coastal Division for men's soccer because two Coastal schools (GT and Miami) do not field men's soccer teams. Since FSU is the only Atlantic Division team not to field a team then Notre Dame has to play in the Coastal to balance the numbers.

2. Notre Dame is in the Atlantic for baseball because Syracuse doesn't field a team so Notre Dame plays there to balance the numbers in each division.

3. Other than Notre Dame, no other team competes in a different division than the one it belongs to in football.

#1 makes no sense. Not what you said, but that the ACC chose to do that in the first place. Women's soccer has no divisions while also having more teams than men's soccer.

The coaches of the minor sports choose their formats. The "ACC" didn't decide it for them.

Questions

1 Why with a huge base of Soccer loving Fans, Doesn't Miami have Soccer ? And I would think Atlanta would likewise have fans that would support Soccer as well.

2 If Syracuse gets a New Stadium, Could the Layout support Baseball with a retractable roof and practice facility for Spring Practice ?

They have women's soccer. Why not men's? Money. They don't have men's golf either, or men's swimming, in FLORIDA. No softball either.
