Rooting for the Louisville Cardinals is a foreign concept for many of us. We’re not RIVALS per se, but we’re certainly not fans of UL given our recent athletic history versus one another. And it was tough to shed too much of a tier when the NCAA came after them in 2017 — not because we side with the NCAA, but because as Syracuse Orange fans, it seemed like a way to erase the frustrating basketball losses to the Cards (in our minds, anyway).
With all of that said, I’ll be rooting for Louisville in court now, and most Syracuse fans should be doing the same.
