The change to the ACC’s future football scheduling model is now official.

After being discussed at length among conference leaders, athletic directors and coaches during the league’s spring meeting last month, the ACC announced Tuesday it is moving a new format that is doing away with divisions.

As expected, the league will go to a 3-5-5 scheduling model beginning in 2023 that will see each team play three permanent conference opponents while rotating five other opponents onto the schedule every other year. Clemson’s permanent opponents will be Florida State and North Carolina State as well as Georgia Tech, which is already the Tigers’ permanent cross-division opponent.

This story will be updated.
