Why the ACC's future schedule hinges on the decisions of two schools

Figuring out what to do about future ACC scheduling is a complicated issue that is certain to have ramifications for years to come. So it is no surprise that athletic directors punted on making a decision last week.

Still, a choice has to be made before the end of the year as part of the new agreement to form the long-awaited ACC Network. The ADs must decide whether to play nine ACC games and one Power 5 nonconference opponent; or play eight ACC games and two Power 5 opponents. They both equal 10 Power 5 games, but they are not necessarily equal scenarios to consider -- especially with Notre Dame in the mix.
