The University of Louisville has been a part of the Atlantic Coast Conference since 2014. Louisville originally accepted an offer to join the ACC in 2012 as they were in conference limbo. In 2012, the Big East disintegrated and forced Louisville to join the American Athletic Conference, a Group of Five Conference that is still considered Division I.
The Louisville athletic program has been the red-headed step-child in conference realignment. They continue to be bounced around like a pinball from conference to conference, and it appears that scenario could very well happen again in the foreseeable future.
