I don't think either gets booted, but I believe Rutgers is more valuable to the B1G than Louisville is to the ACC.

P5 or not... Aint nobody going to touch that.

Why?

Look around.

Big Daddy Jurich's gone. Pretty Rick is gone. The cheatin' jig is up.

UK has stepped it up in football. The Petrino magic is gone. No more Lamar Jacksons are walking through the door.

When realignment happens again... and it will... who do you think the ACC's going to drop like a bad habit?

The lipstick's been rubbed off that pig.

Doubt that. Much like CLF bypassed the Tubbs era, and looked to what UC could be rather than what they currently are. Just 2 years they were on the cusp of making the Playoffs until they folded and lost the last 3 games of the year.

They're in a weak ACC, so a road to the upper reaches of the CFB is available. Also, everyone knows how much money that school pulls down from athletics. It's not at all a bad landing spot for the ambitious HC type.

I tend to agree with that. UL has shown they are committed to their athletics programs at the highest levels. The football program has had a lot of success very recently - a BCS bowl win, heisman trophy winner, hosting college gameday, etc. And they have a great shot to get to the upper levels of CFB playing in a weak ACC, as you said.

They don't care about academics, they'll throw money at athletics until they get it right. They just spent another $60 million renovating/expanding the stadium. Hell, even in light of everything going on with the basketball scandal they were still able to go out and land Mack.

And... Tennessee wasn't?

Let's face facts... Once "you're in" the club, it's incredibly hard to get booted "out" of the club. We didn't get so much "booted out" as the conference (The old Big East) fell apart around us. In order for Louisville or Rutgers to suffer a similar fate to UC, you'd need the Big Ten and/or the ACC to dissolve. And let's be honest, that's not happening.

Seems to be Louisville athletics will be just fine in a couple of years and people will likely forget about these down years. They recovered from Kragthorpe just fine.

I disagree, and it is just my opinion - UC, UConn, and USF were booted out, mainly be ESPN.

And it was incredibly easy for them to do it. Although it cost the Big East and the teams that left a little money.

This. Unless of course the whole cable subscriber model falls apart, then all bets are off.

I hear you when you say it's your opinion....and i respect that. As a matter of accounting tho - we are in the same conference. So, we weren't actually booted. We sold the name (the Big East) to the schools that took up the mantle for basketball. We received a payday to give the name up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_A...ce#History

On December 15, 2012, the Big East's seven remaining non-FBS schools, all Catholic institutions consisting of DePaul, Georgetown, Marquette, Providence, St. John's, Seton Hall, and Villanova announced that they voted unanimously to leave the Big East Conference effective June 30, 2015.[16][17] The "Catholic 7", by leaving, were looking for a more lucrative television deal than the one they would receive by remaining with the football schools.[18] In March 2013, representatives of the Catholic 7 announced they would leave the conference effective June 30, 2013, retaining the Big East name, $10 million, and the right to hold the conference's basketball tournament at Madison Square Garden


They left the Big East, we weren't booted from it.

We moved to the American Athletic Conference in an effort to put it all behind us, and re-brand. Giving them the right to use the name and keep MSG was instrumental in keeping our Athletic Department afloat in light of the reduced revenue we were gonna be getting in the AAC. I believe those payments are over now...or a year or so ago.

Marcuscan,

I wasn't very specific in my first post.

I was referring to Pitt (as per ESPN) and Syracuse leaving first and starting the downfall.

Reports say Jeff Brohm will be named next Louisville head coach

Quote:According to Dan Dakich of ESPN FM 107.5 and Kent Sterling of CBS 1430 in Indianapolis, Brohm has reached a verbal agreement to become the next head coach at Louisville.

But, but, Brohm just denied it a couple of days ago :)

I wonder if any Purdue recruits might re-open?

Aww, that's cute. L'Ville has its own Kliff Kingsbury now.

Except I think that Brohm is a much better coach than Klingsbury. If Ville does in fact hire Brohm then they likely won't be in "shambles" for very long.

They would probably go to Louisville, but you never know. Louisville has a big time wr who committed under Petrino, but he says he's sticking with the hometown team.

I don't see a marked difference between the two, mostly comparisons. Both former QB's returning to their alma mater is where most of their hype comes from, middling recruiting results in their respective P5 conferences, middling records in their respective P5 conferences. The only big difference is the amount of time served in their P5 conference, and Brohm has a decisive win over a down OSU.

I know Kliff will likely not have a competitive team in the current iteration of the Big 12. Brohm hasn't proven much yet and is being fasttracked to UL because he's a grad.

As I recall, Kingsbury never was a HC until he went to TT. Brohm has a HC record and was pretty successful at WKU before moving to Purdue.

He took over a team that went 8-4, and placed third, first, and first in CUSA. I don't think it really tells anyone if he'll be able to hang in a major conference. He certainly hasn't in the Big Ten.

Certainly tells me he's probably more likely to hang than Kingsbury who had zero record as a head coach.
