Was looking at the 1987 football season...

What is the story behind the 8 home games (6 of 7 ACC games were home)? Did it have to do with certain schools "selling" their home game to us for a portion of the gate?

Yes. Duke did, if I recall. Game fell on their fall break so they sold it back to us.

Just like in the old days Clemson played a ton of road games

because Frank Howard had to schedule road opponents in order to meet the budget.

He scheduled good teams with a good payout.***

Alabama, Auburn, UGA and GT were some of them.
