tl;dr I totally believe you when you say that Louisville fans are dumb.
Jefferson County, Kentucky is truly a different place. To understand it, you have to go back to the seventies - and bussing. Not the idea of your kid getting on a school bus. The idea that your kid, for two years, will go to a completely different school district.
It shaped Louisville, and the surrounding counties, for decades. It still does. Louisville is a Mid Atlantic city, much more like somewhere in New Jersey than Kentucky.
Add to that, the state of sports media under Louisville's greatest sports era during Tom Jurich as AD. The message was EXTREMELY controlled, no dissent was allowed. That is the brand of Louisville sports that most fans were brought up on.

I wouldn’t go that far but it’s a good mix of midwestern and southern. It’s probably more so the actual gateway to the Midwest versus St. Louis.
That all said, UofL itself could compete in some sports but wouldn’t in others. Not consistently. Football being one of those. I’d rather see us add Virginia, VT, or UNC (even though I loathe them too) before them when it comes to ACC teams.
In a perfect world, we wouldn’t add anyone else but hands are going to get forced it appears.
