Here is the relevant rule:

The football games played on a foreign tour, provided the tour occurs only once in a four-year period and is conducted by the member institution in accordance with the procedures set forth in Bylaw 30.7 (see Bylaw 17.29);

Here is the by-law:

So here's what I think this means:
1) you're allowed to play a football game in Europe once every 4 years and it wouldn't count toward the 12-game limit (kind of like Hawaii, only closer for the ACC)
2) you can also create an all-star team composed of not more than 5 players from each team, and they can play a team composed of alumni, and you can do that EVERY YEAR if you wish.

(By the way, the rule on Spring Games says that they can also be vs. an alumni team - hmmm!)
