One ACC division would give Syracuse football better scheduling balance

Syracuse football would get to play a larger variety of Atlantic Coast Conference teams if the league elected to have one division.

Syracuse football and its Atlantic Coast Conference peers will suit up in one league division, rather than two, as part of the conference’s 2020 scheduling model released a few days ago.

The league’s 14 members, plus Notre Dame for the upcoming season only, will compete in 10 conference games each, as well as one non-conference battle.

Yet assuming the fall stanza does transpire amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, there always exists the possibility that ACC officials could consider continuing on with one division in the future, if the reception to this kind of model is favorable.
