RE: It’s been a while, but another division realignment thread
(01-21-2018 08:51 AM)ren.hoek Wrote: I believe divisions should protect and encourage rivalries, most of which are regional and/or historical. 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?
Wake Forest has more players from Florida, with the exception of Florida State or Miami, than anyone else in the conference. If you try to separate them from their recruiting grounds, they will start making phone calls for help, and they know where all of the skeletons are buried.
