While playing in the Big East Conference from 2005 through 2013, the Cardinals captured 17 regular season Big East titles and 33 Big East Tournament titles totaling 50 Big East Championships across all sports . With their 2013 Sugar Bowl appearance against the Florida Gators, the Cardinals football team became the only football team in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to have appeared in and won two Bowl Championship Series bowls, having defeated Wake Forest 24--13 in the 2007 Orange Bowl and Florida 33--23 in the 2013 Sugar Bowl . On November 28, 2012, Louisville received and accepted an invitation to join the Atlantic Coast Conference and became a participating member in all sports in 2014 . </P> <P> Since 2000 Louisville is the only NCAA team to win a BCS bowl game; to appear in the NCAA Division I men's basketball Final Four, the College World Series, and the NCAA Division I women's basketball Final Four; and to finish as runner - up in the Men's soccer College Cup . It is one of only six schools that has appeared more than once in each of the following events--a BCS bowl game, the men's and women's basketball Final Fours, and the College World Series--and Louisville's span of seven school years (2006--07 to 2012--13) is the shortest among these schools . Also, it is the first school ever to win a BCS bowl game, appear in the men's and women's basketball Final Fours, and appear in the College World Series in the same school year, doing so in 2012--13 . </P>
