Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3043215, member: 652"] People who don’t care to look at the facts and just want to be ideals have no freaking clue how this stuff works. Louisville wasn’t the original choice to replace Maryland it was UConn but Florida State and Clemson cashed in their political capital and didn’t want another northeast basketball first school with no football history brought into the ACC. The ACC needed to placate Florida State and Clemson at that time and Louisville because of their history with Florida State in the metro and Charlie Strong rebuilding Louisville football made them the choice especially since they had a strong basketball pedigree and were closer to the ACC footprint than UConn. Louisville over UConn is the starting point for a lot of the good that has happened for the conference. [/QUOTE]
