The ACC could have added UConn, West Virginia, and Rutgers.  Three state schools that were all pretty good at football at the time (UConn actually beat Louisville in football the year the ACC added Louisville for "football reasons").

Instead they added a private Syracuse because ESPN is run by their media department, Pitt because I guess they thought it was the 80s and BC wanted to be New England's team (lol), and Louisville because FSU and Clemson wanted to flex their muscles and make a more culturally aligned pic than UConn seemingly just to piss off Carolina and Duke.

These were catastrophic decisions, with one being dumber than the next.  FSU and Clemson representatives should be made to attend meetings with dunce caps on their heads for the Louisville pic, which may have been the dumbest, least logical add in the conference realignment era.

And spare us about the football ratings in Louisville.  It's a small market that UL [B]shares[/B] with UK.
