ACC to open with Games on 11/5 and 11/6 of 19-20 season.

- Start date
I agree this is stupid. What happens if they decide to have the Champions Classic on the first day of the season again next year? It could create a scheduling issue.
Aren't the CC dates already set?
Edit: Just looked, only one more scheduled date set (November 12, 2019),and it wouldn't interfere.
Who knows but I would hope that the teams that do play will play again during the regular acc time
Is “Don’t mess with what works” really that hard of a concept?
Doesn’t really seem to matter when UVA plays ACC games.
Can we try moving the NCAA tourney to November instead?
Can we try moving the NCAA tourney to November instead?
Not in November, but they did start the regular season in December so they could finish early and have their postseason tourney at the arena in the heart of Big 10 country, Madison Square Garden.
Duke is the only team effected by the Champions Classic, so not really a big scheduling issue. Probably keep the Classic on Tuesday and follow that up with an ACC game on Saturday. The reality is, having 20 conference games is going to force a game or two in the month of November or December.
I don't like this at all but if my team could get an away game at Clemson/Florida State/Miami right in the middle of college football season I wouldn't mind so much. I feel like those crowds might be a little dead compared to what they'd be like in February.
Id like to play every team in the conference twice as opposed to filling up the schedule with OOC opponents. Is that an option?
Opposite effect. Much of our fan base lives outside Tallahassee metro area (Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta). If there is an ACC game the same weekend/Friday of a football game, they would all love the chance to go to both games.
