LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Jeff Brohm and Mark Stoops are pretty different in football philosophies, but on this they’re aligned — they say they want Louisville and Kentucky to keep playing each other.
Brohm went a step further this week. Asked if he’s for the ACC moving to a nine-game schedule, like the SEC and Big Ten have done, he said he’s “100 percent in favor of it, and have been for a while.”
He also said he hopes Louisville can still keep its scheduled marquee non-league games against Kentucky, Georgia and Texas A&M.
The problem? With the SEC’s shift to nine games, the space for non-conference heavyweights is shrinking. Kentucky has to fit one Power Four opponent into its slate, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Louisville. Georgia and Texas A&M may not have the same wiggle room
