Our hope is

1. Louisville thinks of themselves as a Southern school and wants to play Southern teams
2. They do have some football history with FSU and Pitt
3. They have a perception of being a decent program and there are better TV matchups than SU
4. We likely are dead last on their list of teams that they would like to play  
5. There are several schools closer to Louisville than SU
6. They were in the same BBall conference as FSU (1976-91) and VA Tech (1979-95) so they share something in common

If the ACC uses history, I think Miami or VA Tech makes the most sense as our 3rd team. If the ACC uses location, I think VA Tech or UVA makes the most sense. If the ACC uses overall Athletic Department fit, UVA, UNC, or Duke makes the most sense. If the ACC uses future competitiveness, Wake, UVA, or Duke makes the most sense.

We have little history with UVA but they hit the other boxes. I think we only end up with Louisville if the ACC is lazy.
