The Atlantic Coast Conference might look a bit different in the future.

At least that's what Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich told local Clemson reporters during a recent press conference.

Radakovich said Wednesday that he and the conference's other athletic directors would discuss realigning the ACC's divisions when they meet in October, according to this transcript of his presser from TigerNet.

"Should we keep the divisions the way they are?" he asked. "Should we move to a 1 through 14-type circumstance where you have permanent rivals and one rotation and then go through everything else? All of those are on the table."

This isn't the first time Radakovich mentioned an interest in tweaking the league's divisions. He was concerned in late 2013 that some schools weren't playing each other enough, citing the infrequency of Clemson's meetings with Virginia because they're in different division in football.

Louisville, for instance, won't play North Carolina until 2017. And after playing Miami in the ACC opener on Sept. 1 this season, U of L won't see the Hurricanes again until 2019. The Cards won't play Virginia Tech at all until 2020.

That's the way it's going to look if the league sticks with the two-division, eight-game look that it uses now.

"One of the things we had to get done and was fairly urgent was to resolve whether we were going to play nine conference games or eight conference games," Radakovich said. "Once that was done, we decided to let everybody go home for the summer and then come back and look at (realigning divisions)."
