He opens his article with a statement of the obvious, but it's still painful to read:
An intense lobbying effort has helped land Louisville a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Yahoo! Sports has learned.
This paragraph is particularly galling:
Beyond football, Louisville sold its well-rounded athletic program to the ACC. The Cardinals went to the men's Final Four last year and are currently ranked fifth in the nation, while annually running the nation's most profitable basketball program. The women's basketball program advanced to the 2009 Final Four and currently is ranked seventh. And the baseball program made the 2007 College World Series and has been a regular NCAA tournament participant in recent years
