What's this?

I have often wondered about Wake dropping down in football division

and remaining in the ACC for other sports. I think Notre Dame gets a 20% conference revenue share for being a non-football member. But Notre Dame has a lot of other funding sources and I'm not sure if a 20% share would be enough money to keep Wake Forest competitive in the other sports. Maybe something like a 30% or 40% share would be enough. But honestly the ACC would probably be better off just kicking Wake Forest out of the conference entirely, as they are basically just a financial drain. But I'm not sure that some of the original ACC members would have the heart to do that to Wake.

As for Duke, I don't think they would give up on football any sooner than Stanford, Vanderbilt, or Northwestern would.

Duke does not have enough local fan base to get the fb attendance where it -- IB4TECH 08/13/2021 7:22PM

Add ND and WV to this conference -- Sunsetunderground 08/13/2021 5:54PM

WV dilutes academics way worse than Louisville. ** -- Hokie Baseball 08/13/2021 7:40PM

No need or reason to add WVU (or Army, Navy) if PAC, BIG10, ACC merge. ** -- hokie77 08/13/2021 9:56PM

Not when you add Army and Navy at the same time ** -- Sunsetunderground 08/13/2021 8:32PM
