It's not Wake Forest which is in another state. It's New Bern. Little Washington ain't Washington, DC. Wake Forest has less NC feel to it than it did back in the day, but it's more of a national university now. It's in the Southern Ivy League but it has never been in the same conversation with Duke, which is an Ivy League school stuck in Derm.
The NC analogy was to only illustrate wake's reduced athletic image in general. Instead of being a big fish in a small pond - the big 4 - we are now a small fish in an ocean of whales. Instead of being covered by most nc papers we have one old guy in WS. Project this 10 years down the road when unc-chlt, ECU and App St grow in size and respect while Wake stubbornly holds fast to its 1960s philosophy
