They are releasing matchups now. Looks like we are playing at Northwestern.
Did this news come earlier than last year or did nobody care to speculate about matchups?
There are rumors this could be the last ACC-Big Ten Challenge. The Big Ten is leaning toward a Fox/NBC combo for their tv package ending their relationship with ESPN. If that happens, the ACC may go to a 20 game schedule rather than start a new Challenge with another conference.
They were decent last year, 20-12, 78 KP, 8-10 in B10. Losing 2 important players in leading scorer and 3rd leading scorer and leading rebounder.

If this is the end of the ACC-Big10 challenge, what about an ACC-SEC challenge? There are already some natural rivalries that could be exploited: Florida - FSU/Miami; Clemson-SCar; GA - GaTech. And that Magnolia League premier matchup of Wake - Vany.

So the ACC-ACC Challenge.
From what I've heard ESPN is not going to lose the Big Ten
All of those teams already play each other outside of WF/Vandy. Just not much juice for SEC Basketball match ups other than KY.
