The ACC is closing in on a change to its scheduling format that will require all league teams to play at least 10 games against Power 4 competition, though the number of intraconference games played — eight or nine — remains a sticking point, according to multiple sources.

Athletic directors are scheduled to meet Monday in Charlotte to discuss the details of what will either be a move to a nine-game conference slate with one additional Power 4 game required out of conference or an "8+2" model that will provide more flexibility to schools that already have an annual nonconference rival.
