Meanwhile, Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino said at a news conference Monday Maryland’s decision to move to the Big 10 caught him off guard, but said if the ACC was interested in Louisville, they should go to the league. Kentucky Sports Radio.com reports the rumored schools that may be considered to move to the ACC include Louisville, Cincinnati, South Florida and Connecticut.
