The ACC backed away from a plan to add a ninth conference game in football in exchange for its teams to play at least one major nonconference game against a power conference--including Notre Dame. If the playoff committee holds this against the league in the event that the ACC champ is tied with a school from another conference that didn't play for or win its league crown, blame your own ADs, John Swofford.
On the basketball front, the ACC Tournament is being moved up a day so that the championship will be played Saturday night instead of Sunday afternoon. This move has everything with the ACC wanting to push the Big East out of Madison Square Garden so that it can hold its tournament there because Brooklyn (2017 & 2018) is nothing more than a consolation prize. Anybody with half a brain needs to realize that the ACC has not given up on the ultimate prize that is Manhattan.
