November 28, 201213 yr Louisville's athletic budget is larger than any current ACC member. I'm very excited about our place in this league. As someone who at least sort-of follows the results of the non-revenue sports as well, this is a HUGE boost.
November 28, 201213 yr Very happy for UL. While there is a part of me which would smile a little seeing UL left out in the cold, overall I love seeing KY schools do well. P.S. GO CATS!

I don't think most realize how big UL's athletic program is from a revenue and budget standpoint. UL's "olympic sports" will help the ACC and vice versa. HUGE day for UL. Pitino may not even last 5 minutes with this exciting news.
November 28, 201213 yr Jody Demling @jdemling Oh the possibilities….ACC hoops tourney, perhaps a Notre Dame football game, such a great move for the whole athletic department.
November 28, 201213 yr After fumbling the situation up until this point, UL will land squarely on their feet. Good for them. Started getting the sense this would happen the past couple of days. So when all the chips will fall, will we end up with 5 super conferences, or 4 as we initially believed? The Big 12 being the wildcard. The Big East is to be renamed Conference USA.
November 28, 201213 yr UL was getting interest from the Big 12 according to Pete Thamel. That's one reason this move happened so quickly.
November 28, 201213 yr I wanted it to be Cincy, but Louisville makes more sense. I know that both schools put a lot of effort into their campaigns.

I was just discussing with my rideshare this morning what a huge deal it would be for the non-revenue sports. UL vs Duke Lacrosse! Woot!
