With 9 conf games, it'd be almost impossible to have the schedule flexibility to maintain ACC scheduling greater than one per year.We'd still be able to play at least two ACC games per year. If the PAC or AAC offered us a significantly better TV offer we need to strongly consider it. Next year's schedule is brutal and we won't have a Fagnanio/Skyler Bell combo every year. Stacking a schedule full of P4 games when we can't compete financially for players is a recipe for losing.
The Pac or American TV revenue hasn't been nor will be enough to make us jump.
While we won't have Joe or Skyler next season, we'll have to backload as everyone else now has to as well. Three or four P4 games is good - iron sharpens iron and our fans want it (Saturday being evidence of that). Our fan base and the casuals want BC/Syracuse/Duke much more than they want any Pac or American teams (most couldn't even list any).
