The Atlantic Coast Conference doing away with the two divisions in football is an idea whose time has come. Now it’s up to the league to make a decision and ask the NCAA to allow it to happen.
The ACC held its annual winter meetings last week in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and at the forefront of discussions were talks about football scheduling and doing away with the Atlantic and Coastal Divisions.
To put it simply, divisions don't work well with competitive scheduling balance and often delay the games between teams for long spans of time.
