It seems every year Louisville leads or is near the top in tv markets when it comes to basketball, both NCAA and NBA.

Kentucky and Louisville are two of the premiere college programs with two of the biggest followings.

#1st in the draft viewings last season. #1 last year when only 3 players were drafted from UK/UL.

Having grown up in Louisville I would like them to get a team, but I'm not sure the fans would support it. Honestly the hate runs so deep between UK/UL that if you named them the Louisville whatever or Kentucky whatever, the other fan base wouldn't support it.

The NBA is looking to expand, and bring in more money... When does Louisville get a pro team?

Seems like its exclusive to college sports.

Also im not American , but I assume its not large television market.

Seattle, Vegas and Mexico are going to have NBA teams before Louisville.
