The ACC announced Monday its new scheduling model starting next year when the league adds Cal, SMU and Stanford.
On Monday, the ACC Network held a special show to announce the conference opponents for each school. The conference has not announced the exact dates and will do so at a later time.
“Throughout the entire scheduling model process, the membership was incredibly thoughtful and building a creative, flexible and aggressive conference scheduling model while keeping the student-athlete experience at the forefront,” ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips said in part. “The excitement and anticipation for our teams, alumni and fans will undoubtedly build as we look ahead to the future of this incredible conference.”
