Yep. More like the maleficent 7.

It's not that hard. Winning in the last handful of years has close to nothing to do with your value. Wake has recently been twice the program VT has been in the only sport that matters to the future of athletics (football), but because VT has a bigger alumni base and fanbase, VT is twice as valuable as Wake if not more. Nebraska and Texas are garbage but are both at least 10 times as valuable as Wake. Wake is comparable to App, Duke, Coastal Carolina, etc. as a football brand and sine only football and its money matter, in a few years we will likely be in a conference with App, Coastal, and Duke. You can thank Disney, FOX and corporate greed once again for ruining a great cultural institution such as collegiate athletics.Honestly…I am on my phone but are they the schools with the highest student population?
Bragging about a bowl streak is like bragging about getting a participation trophy. Wake has a staggering one winning record in conference play under Clawson so I think it's safe to say we're not beating the crap out of anyone. But more importantly, it literally doesn't matter. FSU could never make a bowl again and will always be a more valuable brand than Wake Forest. Should that matter? No, but since nobody seems to want to speak up against greed running sports, it does matter. When the split becomes formal and Wake is no longer in the top division of "college" athletics, I am curious what happens to all of the money that has been pumped into Wake football. Hopefully McCreary decides to lower tuition for kids instead of helping us beat other division 2 schools.This. Wake has beaten the crap out of the "magnificent 7" and has the 2nd longest bowl game streak to clem's son.
Good riddance to them.
When the top 40ish brands leave the NCAA altogether, the lack of bowl payouts and NCAA tournament revenue will change that and G5 will likely look a lot more like FCS than what it does now if I had to guess. In the financial sense, all schools and sports that are not football at about 40 institutions are deadweight. I expect Disney and FOX to continue working together with those "schools" to formally cut all of the deadweight institutions out of the picture to maximize the payout for each valuable school (current B10 and SEC plus Oregon, Washington, those 7 ACC schools, and Notre Dame).G5 schools have some pretty nice facilities too.
Scroll back a few pages and find all you geniuses telling me why the ACC will last forever. Looks like I'm right about something here, not that this wasn't obvious starting almost a decade ago.And as we’ve seen today, you can take NJDeac’s predictions straight to the bank

No, but they're already in those conferences and they're going to be pulled along (at least for now). If Wake just so happened to be in the SEC instead of Vandy Wake would be pulled along too. Those schools were in those conferences long before TV conglomerates decided the landscape of collegiate athletics, and if that wasn't the case they would be nowhere near those leagues.northwestern and vandy are valuable schools??!
But only Clemson has been to more consecutive exhibition games than us. It means that we have been consistently decent while others have not.

Where are we exactly?I recall a tailgate several years ago when I mentioned I feared Wake's future given the football factories and their influence. Another tailgater basically got in my face and said, "Wake is a charter member of the ACC. They aren't going ANYWHERE."
Welp. Here we are. Reminds me of Rice. Yep. They remained members of the SWC for a while. Only problem is everyone else left town.
The ACCWhere are we exactly?
[GalaxyBrain]Forbes pushed Bobi out to make room on the roster.[/GalaxyBrain]Lots of people on this board have seen trouble brewing for the ACC
But since we’re talking about how often you’re right, tell us more about Bobi coming back, and Forbes recruiting not in case of a Bobi contingency, but expressly to push a player out. Just like Clawson pushed that DB out. Genius.
I also think the next step phase will be unequal revenue sharing in the big conferences.
