I closed it when that idiotic ad started playing.

...As for that strength of schedule, the ACC is discussing whether to go from eight to nine conference games. One school of thought: Adding Notre Dame already provides an automatic schedule strength upgrade. Another: The ACC has to consider a nine-game schedule given that the Big 12 and Pac-12 already have one and the SEC is considering it.

The ACC has an informal interest in perhaps partnering with the SEC or Big 12 in an “8 + 1” model.

“We're still playing with it, trying to figure out what's best,” the commissioner said...

that's why the Big 12 got rid of theirs. The weak North always had a good shot of knocking OU and TU out of the title match.

When everyone gets over the initial high of money, the only route to go in collegiate sports is 9 team conferences. Total round robin schedules in all sports.

You get a true champion (or tie) from playing everyone.

It's insane to play in a conference where you might not play another conference member for years.

You're trying to use logic in this, that won't work here

Technically, the Big XII "got rid" of theirs because Colorado and Nebraska bolted and they didn't have enough members to have a championship game per NCAA rules.

The reason they are lobbying for the rule change is for the reason you describe.

It seems to work OK for the NFL.
