I'd say blame the ACC. They're so worried about extracting their pound of flesh from Maryland that they aren't looking to comprimise. If they had been willing to do so, everything happens this year with no issues at all.

My brother, a NC State grad, said the exact same thing. If anyone wants to point a finger at why Louisville isn't in for 2013, they should look directly to the ACC and no one else.

Absolutely... the ACC should just roll over and let Maryland and the Big Ten to anything they want. You want to leave without paying your exit fee? No problem - how much would you like to pay?

If the ACC was as secure as all of you are saying they are, they should be working with Maryland to expedite it as fast as possible. Given the new fee was 50 old fee was 20- meet in the middle for 35 given that Maryland didn't vote for it. Then get them out of there, get Louisville in- and you have your new conference all at once. It's insane to not have Louisville in now for next year.
