WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) — Wake Forest and North Carolina officials felt Atlantic Coast Conference schools located about 80 miles apart in the same state should not go seven years without playing each other because of scheduling issues created by expansion. So they're doing something never before done in the ACC, or possibly any Power Five conference. The schools scheduled a couple of games against each other that won't count in the ACC standings. The first of these nonconference matchups is Friday night.
