Editing Atlantic Coast Conference (section)

===Full members===
The ACC has 18 member institutions from 12 states. Listed in alphabetical order, these 12 states within the ACC's geographical footprint are [[California]], [[Florida]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Indiana]], [[Kentucky]], [[Massachusetts]], [[New York (state)|New York]], [[North Carolina]], [[Pennsylvania]], [[South Carolina]], [[Texas]], and [[Virginia]]. The geographic domain of the conference is predominantly within the Southern and Northeastern United States along the US Atlantic coast, but recent conference realignment has brought it to California and Texas. It stretches from Florida in the south to New York in the north and from California in the west to Massachusetts farthest east.

When Notre Dame joined the ACC, it chose to remain a [[NCAA Division I FBS independent schools|football independent]]. However, its football team established a special scheduling arrangement with the ACC to play a rotating selection of five ACC football teams per season. For the [[2020 Atlantic Coast Conference football season|2020 season]], due largely to the suspension of most non-conference games by other Power Five conferences due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United States]], the ACC reached an agreement to allow Notre Dame to play a full, 10-game conference schedule and be eligible to play for the ACC championship.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|date=July 30, 2020|title=ACC sets 11-game slate, includes Notre Dame|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29559987/acc-sets-fall-football-plans-includes-notre-dame|access-date=August 8, 2020|website=ESPN.com|language=en}}</ref>

The ACC is unique among power conferences in that it has a high proportion of private universities as members; eight of its 18 members are fully private institutions (not counting state-related Pittsburgh). By contrast, the [[Big 12 Conference|Big 12]] has three private members, the [[Big Ten Conference|Big Ten]] two, and the [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]] one.
