RE: It’s been a while, but another division realignment thread

With that in mind, what if the ACC had Atlantic and East divisions containing the old ACC and old Big East, respectively?
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. 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?
