ACC Football Could Potentially Switch to a Nine-Game Conference Schedule

A nine-game conference schedule could be in the not-too-distant future of the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Daily Press' David Teel reports.

In an effort to expand media attention and broaden reach, the ACC could adopt a nine-game conference schedule for football in the near future, David Teel of the "Daily Press" states.

They first explored the idea back in 2012, with the ensuing additions of Syracuse and Pittsburgh put on the backburner eight months later. It was brought up again in the league's 2014 spring meetings, but the eight-game format won the vote 8-6.
