Re: Louisville headed to the ACC
It was not on the board yesterday and will be announced today. You had speculation on Louisville, Cincinnati, and UConn but now you have concrete proof of who is going so it is not old news. #HammerDown
Re: Louisville headed to the ACCThis is all so fricking depressing. We pushed the boulder up to the top of the mountain, only to have it roll down the other side.

Re: Louisville headed to the ACCVery depressing. I wonder if Aresco knew this was already in the works and added Tulane and ECU knowing this was already inevitable.
If he didn't know, shame on him....I'm sure anybody with half a braincell could tell you this would happen. ____________________________________________________________

Re: Louisville headed to the ACCI just thought there were better options than Tulane.

Re: Louisville headed to the ACCI definitelty think he knew that more movement was imminent. Still concerned the Presidents chose Tulane. I personally would have been happy with Southern Miss. ECU? OK. Big East wants to stay at 12 because he is presently negotiating TV Contract including substantial money for a BE Championship and apparently BYU and Air Force aren't ready. Why not Southern Miss? The only thing I can think of is that they have a history of taking non-qualifiers, walkon non-qualifiers paying in state tuition etc. This is a Presidential level decision not one made by Coaches or AD. Perhaps location too but they at least represent the southern half of a state with a decent following

Re: Louisville headed to the ACCI'm shocked by this. I thought UConn was a no-brainer. Louisville is terrible academically compared to the other ACC schools. All about the benjamins, though.

Re: Louisville headed to the ACCLouisville is a greater loss to BE than a UConn, but the best move for ACC. Louisville does not bring media market, but its BB market is over-sized, due to Pitino. Plus, FB attendance is much greater than UConn.
Cincinnati and UConn have been campaigning to the ACC, but the Conference has no enthuisaism for either, apparently. The pick-up of Tulane and ECU was done in anticipation of losing Louisville, who was the last marquee FB school left with the exception of Cincinnati. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/co ... 7677.story Pony Up
Re: Louisville headed to the ACCI believe Boston College shot down UConn when the ACC took Pitt and Syracuse. As I recall, the idiot President or AD of BC actually stated that publically. I imagine the same thing happened this time. BC does not want UConn in the ACC. The irony of course is that the sands are already shifting under BC's feet. I bet they end up in the same boat as UConn.
Re: Louisville headed to the ACC
And UConn is better, academically?

Re: Louisville headed to the ACC
The Tulane add was a result of knowing Louisville was on their way out.
Re: Louisville headed to the ACCGood read on a program that rose from the ashes (no, not SMU) http://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaab--lou ... 50157.html
