Good points. The SEC is down and so is Vandy. A couple of years ago, you had UK winning the NC and Vandy had several consecutive years of solid teams. I don't recall how many of those teams went to the NCAA, but I know Wake didn't sniff the Tourney since the Cleveland Steamer debacle. Tennessee is not a great bball talent state outside of Memphis and the occassional Middle Tennessee player. That being said, Vandy is a bigger school in a vibrant city and has a better overall athletic program. Slightly easier to hide athletes than at Wake. Certainly the allure of the ACC and Tobacco Road should play heavily in Wake's favor with the right coach. Vandy should be able to recruit kids from Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi who can handle the academics, with the right coach.
