To trade a Strong up and coming program like Louisville for a weak deteriorating program like Maryland is a huge win.
We may regret this because UL will be a national power one day.

UL has a larger athletic department budget than CU does buy like 20 million dollars. that program has been growing steadily for the last 15 years and will take a jump with the move to the ACC.

the ACC and only fell off the radar after Bobby B turned 97 and watched his ineffectiveness as HC slowly ebb away at the program. This is Va. Tech's only sub-par year and you can blame the Logan Thomas experiment for much of that. BC's record is pretty decent with a Doug Flutie or a Matt Ryan, not so much outside of all-star QB's.

Limits on Partial-qualifiers and JUCOs hurt ACC teams

All you have to do is look at the PQs and JUCOs Scar has brought in in the last 4 yrs in Football and baseball.
If we are going to play "Big-boy Football" with SEC schools, we will have to lower our standards to theirs.

I too see this as an upgrade to football and basketball. Best we could do right now. Two more moves to go.

As for you market guys, the ACC surrounds that market. So, I don't buy this save the DC Market hoopla. The ACC expanded their market, while retaining everything besides of Maryland's fanbase.
