What's this?

Wake and fans

don't get me wrong, I like Wake and want to keep our relationship with them

But they are really hard to justify in a P5 conference

I just looked at the time college football fan base map, and Wake isn't even #1 in Winston Salem. That strikes me as strange.

In every zip code in Winston Salem, the ratio of Wake vs UNC is nearly 2 to 1 in favor of UNC, in a few it is more than 2 to 1. Once you get out of the greater Winston Salem area, wake disappears from the radar screen all together. Georgia Tech doesn't do much better.

I wonder what we can do as a conference to enhance WF?

The "Save WF" charity comes in the form of a $25 million check each year. -- chuckd4vt 06/10/2016 4:25PM

I feel the conference needs a Save WF committee or a goodbye committee -- BigCrumpy 06/10/2016 3:14PM

You need to realize Wake isn't leaving. -- Lead Dog 06/10/2016 3:52PM
