LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The announcement confirms what already had been long accepted. Louisville's two-year home-and-home football series against Georgia won't happen.
Georgia said in a news release the school's mutually agreed to scrap the deal and will seek a neutral site meeting at a later date.
The fact is, Louisville wanted the game. Jeff Brohm said as much a couple of months back in a radio interview. But athletics director Josh Heird sees the scheduling realities as clearly as anyone.
When the SEC and ACC went to nine-game league schedules earlier this year, it meant that some non-conference games were probably going to be casualties. Georgia plays an annual game against Georgia Tech. It also has games against Tennessee Tech and WKU next season.
In the same announcement, Georgia announced that it had exited a home-and-home deal with North Carolina State.
The move leaves Louisville, which still has its annual Governor's Cup matchup against Kentucky — contracted through 2030 – on the schedule, looking to fill another high-profile hole.
It's not unfamiliar territory, which most recently saw Indiana back out of the last two games of a three-game series after Louisville played and won the first meeting in Indianapolis.
Brohm says Louisville is committed to scheduling high-level non-conference games. The job is getting much harder. The Cardinals have a home-and-home set with Texas A&M in 2028, and have four games scheduled against Notre Dame, in 2030, 2032, 2033 and 2035.
