Wake has had teams with enough talent to win in basketball. Wake beat eventual national champions year in and year out before Wellman burned down the program.
Wake can be good in football but I don't see a day where Wake will have the talent and depth to win a football championship.
You may not see it, but saying basketball is "a game we can win in" is true for any college which sucks in sports. All sucky sports schools have more hope in basketball because theoretically you just need five guys and a kick ass coach. But as we've seen, those elements are harder to attain than people are willing to admit.
College soccer requires a lot more than five guys on the field, but we've won national championships and played in title games several times. Football is hard to get established in and many competitive programs have trouble year in and year out, but I think basketball is as hard or harder for us to be prominent because of our poor positioning in the ACC and the fact that our administrators allowed our budding prominence die in a way neither Duke nor UNC would've permitted. Wake has been "a basketball school" by default; not because we're like Duke, UNC or UK.
