The steering committee focused on creating a new Division I governance model released a number of key details that are being considered before the April 24th Board of Directors meeting where the board hopes to forward the model to the membership.

Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports: The ACC has submitted NCAA legislation that would “deregulate” football conference championship games sources told CBSSports.com.
