Has the conversation has ever been presented to move teams from the coastal to the Atlantic and vice versa? Maybe this would make ACC football a little more competitive and entertaining on and off the field and draw in more of an outside audience. Also to make it more regional. Lets be real, no one outside of die-hard fans care when Pitt travels to Atlanta or Boston College travels to where ever down south. But to make the divisions more regional, I think would be better for the conference. You would probably see stadiums filled and ticket sales go up. Personally, I would love it if the conference would change it up. The following is just something i came up with. Thoughts? Opinions?

Coastal
Ga Tech
Clemson
FSU
Miami
UNC
NC State
Duke

Atlantic
Boston Coll
Syracuse
Pitt
Louisville
UVA
Va Tech
Wake

Move Miami to the Atlantic. Give us UVA in the coastal
I like playing UVA, but having basically all of the deep south schools playing each other would be better IMO. look at other leagues. Take the NFC south for example. or the NL East, or whatever. Regionally their divisions make sense and most in toher leagues do really expect the BIG 10 and ACC. Tech should be playing FSU every year, UNC should be playing Clemson every year etc. Syracuse should be in the trenches with those teams up there.

Atlantic too easy. No.
Yeah but it shouldn't be so much about hard or easy. More about, ticket sales, saving money in travel expenses, recruiting...etc. Plus your only saying that because of the way the conference is now. College Football is always rapidly evolving. Whos to say in 10 years, that side wouldn't be the strong side?

Also, the SEC East used to dominate the SEC

It was dumb we got put with VT and Miami instead of Clemson and FSU. I think if someone researches it had a good bit to do with VT and other old big east schools not wanting to be in a new big east division. Also, how to split up some of the North Carolina schools. Miami already travels a million miles to play everyone anyway.

Should have been:
South
GT
Clem
FSU
N.C.
NCSU
Wake
Duke* in north then to south after 14 teams

North
UVA
VT
Miami
BC
Pitt*
Maryland (Louisville taking their spot)
Syracuse*

Cross divisional rivalries to keep UVA and UNC plus GT and Duke playing in football until realignment.

These days there should be no cross divisional guarantee on who you are playing, let the schools decide based on travel and fan interest just make a rule that you must schedule a certain number of ACC out of division teams. If UVA and N.C. want to continue their series it’s their choice.

ND can join as a full member if they bring someone worthwhile with them. Or allow them to count as an ACC opponent as long as they play every conference team within a decade.

Bring Notre Dame and Penn State in. But doubt Penn State would join
