The ACC has a lot on its conference realignment plate right now. Conference realignment plates are basically just lists of cities by population, which school presidents and conference commissioners find to be the most delicious things in the world. The ACC has growing resentment among its football-first fan bases while a neighbor or two to the north is still, presumably, looking to get in.

Rutgers has been the presumed Domer substitute, but now the Louisville Cardinals are also reportedly looking for an invite.
