Unless you are an ACC fan, this is an awfully boring and disheartening story. This makes sports no better - the football may actually suffer without Pitt and West Virginia, etc. meeting Miami. And the ACC, with the exception of Florida State (who has not played well the past few seasons), is not a place to replace those matchups. The basketball may suffer as well- especially if Duke, Maryland, North Carolina don't meet twice as usual.
So basically its about money and power. Which everyone pretty much admits. Which is lame. As a fan, I'd like to see better competition, not worse.
And one more thing, wraith, Louisville will only be invited to join the Big East if the Big East survivces this. And if four football schools go, it won't. The remaining teams, at least in football, would fold to other conferences. The only reference I've heard to Louisville is if ONLY Miami goes, then Louisville can come in.
