    ACC is ‘closer to the end’ in conversations to do away with league’s football divisions https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/article261311997.html


    Quoting:

    In that scenario, teams would play the same three opponents every season,
    in addition to a group of five teams in even years and the other five
    remaining teams in odd years. It would take two seasons, and not the
    current six, or more, for every ACC team to play every other team in the conference.

    I would like to see the New And Improved Division I Bylaws (to be released in early August) first, to see if the ACC is allowed to get rid of divisions and not have a full round-robin schedule but still be allowed to play a conference championship game
    without having to beg the NCAA for a waiver.

    According the article on ESPN, about the ACC's proposal:

    -QUOTE-
    Earlier this week, the NCAA Football Oversight Committee recommended conferences no longer be required to have divisions to hold a conference championship game. The Division I Council is set to vote on it later this month, when it is expected to pass.
