The ACC released its new scheduling model for 2024-2030 on Monday, with the additions of Cal, Stanford and SMU, which officially begin league play next season. The league protected 16 annual rivalry games. It limited travel out West for the 14 current ACC members who will each play a total of three times in California through 2030, and none will travel to California in back-to-back seasons.
ACC reporters Andrea Adelson and David Hale weigh in with their early thoughts on the new format.
What's your first impression from the release?
Adelson: The league did a good job protecting the games it absolutely had to protect, like Florida State-Miami, Florida State-Clemson, Duke-North Carolina and Virginia-Virginia Tech (among others).
