Big East Breakup Blues
Back in the early 2010s, the Big East conference was like a college party - everyone knew everyone, rivalries were fierce, and there were always some unexpected shenanigans. Louisville, the Cardinals, were having a blast, racking up a whopping 50 Big East championships across various sports! But then, drama struck! Remember that awkward moment when half your friends decide to move to a different dorm? Yeah, that's what happened to the Big East. Schools started bolting for greener pastures (a.k.a. supposedly more prestigious conferences), leaving Louisville feeling a bit like the forgotten friend at the party.
Enter the ACC: A New Hope (or Maybe Just a New Conference)?
Just when the Cardinals were contemplating a solo pizza party (because who needs friends when you have carbs, right?), the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) came knocking. We're talking about the conference with powerhouses like North Carolina and Florida State - the big leagues of college athletics! Let's just say Louisville wasn't about to say no.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
So, the big question you've all been waiting for (drumroll please)...
When Did Louisville Join the ACC?
Mark your calendars, folks, because it all went down in 2014! The Cardinals officially became ACC members, ready to take on new challengers and, hopefully, add some ACC trophies to their already impressive collection.
