Of course it will become the old Big East. Was there any question?

Seriously. Heck, the school itself has/d no respect for its other programs...trying to "dump" them anywhere they would be taken just so they could park their precious football into the Big East/AAC.

I wonder if the guy realizes even his school's other program actually makes money, too...and it doesn't need a gimmicky field to do so.

Not really...like I said more concerned about LOUISVILLE Issues at QB & OLine not some meaningless pissing contest on which conference is better in Football...in reality in Football it is all about the SEC & Pac 12....believe it or not Basketball Practice starts in about 3 weeks and is the other Revenue Sport....

I was just messing with ya.

Cool...should have put an icon on it...no problems...the B1G showed out this past weekend...

In their defense, they did pay for us to take their other sports (which even we had no use for)

It is already gone...to paraphrase Rick Pitino...Chris Petersen ain't walking through that door...

You realize the irony of a Louisville football fan saying this? You went from BCS bowls in the Big East to being lucky to make a bowl. How's that step up in competition treating you? Lol

FIFY

Last I checked UofL Record is 3-1-(FYI only need to win 6 to go to a Bowl so already half way there) with a Top 25 Defense in Total Defense and Scoring Defense...most of us expected 8-4 this year with a new Coaching Staff and new QB and missing our most talented returning player in WR DeVonte Parker who is out until Likely Clemson..no worries from us especially since we are rejoining teams we are used to playing in Miami-(already beat them by 18 points), NC State, Pitt and Syracuse...continue your "jealousy" Coog fan...just worry about beating a school two minutes removed from the FCS-(UTSA).......

Maize I see where you are coming from here and agree from a hoops perspective that it will likely be so. Just be careful that in becoming that, you don't also follow the same template for the loss of football first schools over a period of time to complete the scenario. Balance between sports is what must be kept.

I agree with the balance...Football must be the FOCUS but Basketball can't be an afterthought. For the ACC is it up to FSU & Clemson to continue what they have done the past 3 years and for schools like Virginia Tech, UNC, Miami, Louisville and Pitt to be for the ACC what South Carolina, Texas A&M, Auburn, Mississippi State-(This Year) and Missouri has done for the SEC...a strong 2nd Tier for the ACC like what the SEC currently enjoys....The SEC 1st Tier is the Florida-(Traditionally), Bama, Georgia and LSU.

The SEC has focus on improving it Basketball this past year to fix their current situation.

Sorry there Maize but Georgia is not first tier. Auburn has been to the national championship game 2 times in the last 4 years and Georgia last made a run at a National Championship in '81. First Tier SEC is "normally" Florida, L.S.U., Alabama and Auburn. Georgia and Tennessee would be but the first hasn't made real noise since the 80's and the last not since the late 90's. Auburn has not sustained a prolonged absence from the conference championship game that spanned a decade and had undefeated seasons in '94, '04, and '10. While not as consistent as Alabama in such showings they are definitely more on par with L.S.U.. Florida like Auburn and L.S.U. has had spurts.

Point well taken especially with Auburn...also forgot about their Undefeated season this Century and they didn't get to play for the BCS Title. The ACC needs to continue to develop a strong 2nd Tier around the Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, Pitt, Louisville, UNC & NC State and have a Miami to become Miami again to go with Clemson and FSU.

-Well of course they're gonna see an increase of bids with the addition of two top ten programs, but I think they'll consistently get half the conference in the tournament on a yearly basis, just like the B1G typically does. I can't see them getting in more than 8 or 9 too consistently with BC, Clemson, Wake, GT, VT, and Miami all are either below average right now or are very inconsistent from year to year. Plus, it's hard to tell what you're going to get out of NCState too.

-IMO, we'll continue to see the B1G, Big 12 and ACC get the most % of the conference in the tournament.

-What was the most the Big East got in, 10 out of 16 a couple years ago?

Would not be surprised if 8 of the 15 ACC got in...Duke, UNC, Louisville and Virginia are in the Early ESPN Top 8.

yes. Louisville can be proud of how football is coming along, but they should not forget about their other sports. Fortunately the ACC cares about those too
