This is interesting.  I thought FSU and Clemson were looking elsewhere long before Maryland moved according to the rumor mill.  I thought the rumblings started when the ACC didn't invite West Virginia when the ACC invited Syracuse and Pittsburgh.  The other interesting thing is that I've followed Louisville for 35 years going back to Denny Crum's team winning the national championship in 1980.  And during all this time, I have never once thought Louisville a football school.  I remember their battles in the Metro Conference, which Florida State was in, dominating basketball in battles with Memphis State.  I guess Johnny Unitis played there, so they have some football history.  But Louisville is like Kentucky to me, and that spells basketball. 
 
I think that the ACC should strive to be good at both sports and not try to be a football conference or a basketball conference.  I worry about leaving Connecticut on the table for the Big Ten to consider.  I could easily see the Big Ten bringing in Connecticut and Kansas and declaring themselves "the best collection of basketball schools ever assembled" and claiming Madison Square Garden.    That is not without possibility.   The ACC needs to be careful here.  UConn football beat Louisville in football last year at Louisville. 
 
Louisville is a fantastic addition.  Don't get me wrong.   I just worry about Connecticut particularly with the ACC in open competition with the Big Ten in the New York City market.
