To everyone who answered yes:
Given that we'll never win a national title in football, and that our absolute best, most awesome accomplishment would be an ACC title (and trip to the Orange Bowl that no one besides us will ever remember), which in the entire 100+ year history of our program has happened twice, I'd actually be cool with dropping to a level where we could compete regularly in a postseason football tournament and perhaps win a national championship, especially if it meant basketball was competing for a national championship every year.
We've only won the ACC in basketball four times, not like its that big of a difference. And the only two since 1962 came courtesy of one of the best basketball players of the last 20 years
I voted for the annual NCAA tourney bid, but then realized that we'd have to leave the ACC to make the plan happen. Which means we'd be the Butler or Gonzaga of the south. Or perhaps Memphis. Winning 20+ games a years, but playing blah teams and never really getting a ton of credit.
I change my vote. Being in the ACC pretty much trumps every other consideration for Wake sports.
In the hypothetical I was thinking he was saying we'd be ACC for everything except football. Like Notre Dame except for opposite reasons.
Yes, the ACC will cut us the same deal as ND just to keep us affiliated. *chortle*
