Stanford has 6800 undergrad students; Northwestern has 8400; Vanderbilt has 6800. Now Wake only has 5,000, but it is still very much in the same category size wise.
Hell, one would be hard pressed to call Wake mediocre from 2006-2008 yet we were significantly smaller then than we are now.
That said, I agree with your overarching point that success will be much easier for us to attain in basketball than in football, but I don't think success in football at Wake is impossible. I do think success in basketball will make it easier to reattain success in football.
Vanderbilt and Northwestern have both been worse than Wake has ever been. It ebbs and flows, but they are much like Wake in that they have some good periods, but never great. Stanford is close to being the exception, I will grant you.
