The Atlantic Coast Conference has announced a unanimous vote to add the University of Louisville as the replacement for Maryland.
League Commissioner, John Swofford, said the addition of Louisville, along with Notre Dame, Pittsburgh and Syracuse in the past year, has made the league stronger.
Maryland announced last week it leave the ACC in favor of the Big Ten in 2014.
A person familiar with the situation said ACC leaders also considered Connecticut and Cincinnati as possible additions.
