I seem to recall posting about what Charmin said at one point prior to the season, maybe at the end of season celebration
last year but found this article that explains ACC approach to scheduling:
" So the league has adopted a 2-for-1 approach to putting together the schedule: play two games for every one trip and essentially alternate weekends of playing at home versus on the road. That would have Stanford or Cal playing a pair of road games at neighboring North Carolina schools or in the Eastern time zone on the same trip, or each hosting the same visitor within a four-day span.
Five schools Boston College, Florida State, Miami, N.C. State and Syracuse will have both their men's and women's programs travel to California to play the Cardinal and Bears this season.
"It is what it is and you have to do it," said N.C. State men's coach Kevin Keatts, whose Wolfpack visits Cal on Feb. 5 and then Stanford on Feb. 8.
"We've got to schedule it right. We've got to travel right. We've got to maintain our academics, we've got to eat right and get the proper rest. But it's a tough trip, especially when you haven't done it before."… Paul Brazeau, the league's senior associate commissioner for men's basketball, told the AP the approach was to largely keep those two games on a Wednesday-Saturday schedule, which would build in travel time before and rest between games that were reasonably close together geographically.
The other target was to ensure that teams returning from a cross-country trip were earmarked for a home game on their next game.
"We wanted to make sure it wasn't a Miami-BC (doubleheader) for Stanford and Cal," said Brazeau, referring to the roughly 1,500-mile separation between schools at the northern and southern extremes of the league's eastern footprint…"
