Would the Summit League DPOY come to Wake to come off the bench?
Why? You must suck!9xDeac is the new 8xDeac?
Also, you kinda suck, dude.
I’m starting to wonder if we can win an ACC title in basketball moving forward. Of Wake, GT, BC, FSU, Cuse and Pitt who makes the tournament next year?The issue of whether to devote more resources to football than basketball, even pre-NIL, boils down to this: can Wake win a national title in football? I believe that answer to be "no".
Can Wake win a national title in basketball? I believe that answer to be "yes".
Why couldn't we win a national title in football? We were ranked #10 like two years ago. To me that's a lot closer than basketball has been in over a decadeThe issue of whether to devote more resources to football than basketball, even pre-NIL, boils down to this: can Wake win a national title in football?

Well that depends. If you’re taking most of the best programs and competing for an entirely different championship, we might be a lot more competitive in realignment.plus you have to factor into the realities of conference realignment which could further push away from football competitiveness
This year's basketball team is a hell of a lot closer to UConn/Houston/Purdue/etc. than the 2006 and 2021 football teams were to Florida and Georgia, respectively. And those are two of the best football teams in Wake history.Why couldn't we win a national title in football? We were ranked #10 like two years ago.

We are significantly closer to winning a national championship in basketball. We were closer this year, despite not making the tournament, than any Wake football team because the gap in football is that big.
Yea, like come on guys. One sport has like 85 scholarships, the other what, 13? One awesome player—like, say, a home grown point guard from a few miles away—can make a basketball program an instant title contender. It’s the same 4-6 SEC and Big 10 teams vying for the football championship every year, and they have waves upon waves of 5 star linemen that would eat us over the course of an entire game.This year's basketball team is a hell of lot closer to UConn/Houston/Purdue/etc. than the 2006 and 2021 football teams were to Florida and Georgia, respectively.

The only issue is does it even matter in basketball anymore. It doesn't drive the big bucks and college basketball is no longer the place where all the best players go to play a year or more before going to the NBA.Yea, like come on guys.

Now, the fact that we’ve actually been more competitive over the past 10-15 years in football is more of an indictment of our basketball program than an honest reflection of the relative parity of the two sports. A basketball program with our facilities, NBA pedigree, and (at least until recently, conference affiliation) should never have been allowed to fall as far as it did.
No but Kokomo, In.Did the beach boys ever mention Minnesota?
Can’t disagree with any of this.The only issue is does it even matter in basketball anymore. It doesn't drive the big bucks and college basketball is no longer the place where all the best players go to play a year or more before going to the NBA.
