East: BC, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Louisville, VT, Miami, WF
Atlantic: UNC, NCSU, Duke, UVa, Clemson, GT, FSU

WF is in the East because there isn’t a 7th former Big East team and they would be taking one for the team by doing this is insane. The only permanent cross division rivalries that would be preserved would be FSU-Miami and UVa-VT. WF might want Duke too. The B1G has a similar setup in which Purdue-Indiana is the only permanent cross division rivalry. I’d guess VT wouldn’t like this setup, but why not discuss anyway?

Give Wake Forest UNC instead and you might have a deal...

I was thinking the same thing. But the fact remains that this has always been a possibility, and it has never flown before. What's different now?

It will be hard to break the UNC vs UVA game even though I think the tradition argument. However the simplest solution, move Louisville to Atlantic and UVA to coastal. UNC vs UVA annual rival is gone but they could choose to schedule OOC if they want to keep it so bad. Clemson vs GT would be gone as well but it provides a much more balance of the typically who the power schools that play each other.

FSU - Miami
NCSU - UNC
Wake - Duke
UVA - VT
Clemson - Louisville
BC - GT
SYC - Pitt

I would not mind switching BC and GT because historically they fit better in the other divisions, but because Wake and GT seem committed to the Triple option, not sure the ACC would want both in the same Div.

This works better for me:

Clemson-Georgia Tech
NC State-Duke
Virginia Tech-UVa
Wake Forest-Carolina
Florida State-Miami
Pitt-Syracuse
Louisville-Boston College

This works better for me:

Clemson- NC State
Georgia Tech-Duke
Virginia Tech-UVa
Miami-Wake Forest
Florida State-Carolina
Pitt-Syracuse
Louisville-Boston College

Have 1 good division.
