Here's a question: is there any love for Louisville anywhere?
Cuse fans are cool with Louisville fans. Can't speak for the teams. So I'd say yes to your question.
It will be interesting to see how your ticket sales go for next season. I assume folks might get a premium for the big games.

Wichita State is a solid add. I am excited that they are in the conference with us. While I don't foresee the American ever being one of the top 3 basketball conferences, it is just a matter of time until the AAC consistently manages to finish between 4th and 6th every year.
You have the names and history to do it...UConn, Memphis, Cincy, Temple are arguably Top 25 Brands and Houston, Wichita and SMU are not too far behind.

And that is the issue...no one nationally gives a crap about SMU being good...UConn and Memphis (+ Cincy) are the brands that moves the needle nationally.

I think you're lost. The ACC board is that way. ===> ===> ===>
