If you realign the divisions in the ACC what teams would you put in the Atlantic and Coastal?

That makes one division way more stacked than the other. Need some sort of parity

LMAO at UNC being a "public Ivy."

Any academic accolades they have earned should be retracted, or at least questioned, after their 18 year institutional academic fraud (followed by lying to cover it up). Honestly, they should lose their accreditation given how horrible that entire situation was.

No divisions. Two locked games (GT & FSU). Rotate the other

Six. Best two go to the championship.

You'd have to have 3 locked games to accommodate UNC

having to play Duke, NC State, and UVA every year. Still, that would mean every team would play every other team at least twice every four years, which is perfect.

It doesnt work in this case. Way too stacked. You have FSU, Miami, Clemson, and GT all in the same division.
Meanwhile, the only relatively strong teams in the other division are Louisville and VT, and VT hasn't been anything special lately

I agree with this, except switch Duke and Wake.

South-------North
Wake Forest-Syracuse
UNC---------UVA
NCSU--------Pitt
Clemson-----VT
GT----------Duke
FSU---------Louisville
Miami-------BC
Duke has more of a northern-lean to its student body than Wake Forest does, in my opinion.
I don't care how stacked it is today...these things ebb and flow. I'd rather have the geographic rivalries. And it's more exciting to have GT, FSU and Miami coming into Death Valley consistently. Northern schools will just have to get better.

I would like to see Northern and Southern divisions. The Northern would be basically former Big East teams. It would consist of VT, BC, Sy, Pit, LV and the addition of VA and NCS. The Southern would basically be the old ACC. CU, FSU, WF, NC, DU, GT and MIA.

I like this, but switch MIA and NC State. I'd miss the textile bowl.

Another challenge. Combine ACC and SEC

Purpose is to save tons of travel expenses. Keep that in mind when your do your four divisions.
Division 1
Clemson
South Carolina
Georgia Tech
Georgia
Auburn
Duke
Division 2
Florida
FSU
Miami
Division 3
Syracuse
Missouri
Boston College
Division 4
Tex A&M
Arkansas
Mississippi
Mississippi St
Lots of blanks to fill...Tenn, LSU, Vandy, UNC, NC St.
Remember, this is for economical travel for teams and fans.

Another twist to conference realignment...

The SEC trims back to 12. Arkansas joins the Big 12 with WVa moving to the ACC. SCar would be the other SEC team to move, to the ACC. Boston College and Wake Forest would each move to the AAC.

How about Old School vs. Newbies?
Mar 24, 2016, 9:10 AM

Old School Division
Clemson
Duke
NC State
UNC
Virginia
Wake
*GTech
*VTech
(yeah, I know ... but we played both of them for years!
Newbie Division
FSU
Boston
Miami
Syracuse
Pitt
Louisville
BB Heads
Add someone worthwhile
With Clemson-VTech/FSU-ND-L'ville in separate divisions the football champ should have a clear path to the FBC semis each year.
Clemson-NC-GTech-UVa. is a heckuva baseball division, as is Miami-FSU-L'ville.
Hoops ... meh, who cares? We're a baseball power again!
Travel costs for us are slashed and the rotation would keep fresh games in our schedule. The only downside would be missing every other year in Tally.
