Link. Looks like L0uisville or nobody. Absolutely the way it should be if true.

Good--.

^+! twice...thanks guys...good find.

No question, UL has the best athletic dept. of anyone available by far. The right choice for everyone.

Looks like Rick may get the letter of transit.

UL will be voted in tomorrow morning. They missed the vote today by 1 vote. 8-3 I think.

 

[Scooch]

If Louisville gets invited I hope they beat the ever-loving snot out of Florida State and Clemson over and over and over again.

Be careful what you wish for, football schools.

Who said no?

Who said no?

believe either Duke or UNC

Gotta go for UL simply because they are a potential B12 candidate. Hope they stop there (for now).

 

[phil77]

I think it was Duke, UNC and one other. Maybe UVA ??

 

[tep624]

Good--.

I honestly feel bad for them. If it is L'ville only (it appears the ACC's top priority is to appease the FB schools and add the best athletic program - so it makes sense), UCONN is relegated to remaining in a conference that only has Temple as a Northeast schools besides them. YUCK.

Didn't they just lose to SU and UConn?

They no doubt have positives, but they are in SEC country: isolated from the other schools, not along the coast, small market which they share with UK and rated 160 in US News.

They just confuse the ACC brand.

Finally, and most important, I doubt they move the TV payout or the desire of FSU to join the SEC if they get an invite.

Guessing Duke and UVA for the academics? UNC for???

UNC has good academics. Look at US News ratings at bottom of this ariticle. http://www.accsports.com/blogs/davi...-will-vote-on-expansion-wednesday-morning.php

Except in their sports programs where they have been shown to be cheaters.

What do you mean by "ESPN and Notre Dame discussions are heating up"?

I was thinking more from a student athlete angle with UNC's recent issues but you're right those things don't matter when it comes to US news and world report grades.

Doesn't ND's contract with NBC run out soon?

 

[Jeepers]

Slightly OT: Who was the guy that let slip "we took who ESPN told us to" (or whatever it was)? I would think ESPN would be pushing very hard for UConn. I feel like ESPN isn't trying very hard to keep this together (like they did for the B12 after their raid).

Been told TV renegotiation is under way for the Notre Dame games...now will be opened also for Louisville...additonally, ESPN/NBC/ABC/Raycom talking about a ACC network (reported different thread) with Notre Dame as significant part---(cannot say anymore at this time)...
