Unlikely unless Wake is also planning to leave the ACC in all sports

too. If Wake does leave the ACC, then the ACC would need to find a replacement member for at least football given that the bylaws still say that all teams will play a divisional round robin schedule. The ACC can't have everyone play either an 8 or 9 game conference schedule (including a round robin divisional schedule) with 2 divisions having either 7 or 6 members in it. When the MAC had 13 members at least 1 team didn't play a round robin division schedule every year.

Comparison of endowments: ID ($241M), VT ($818M), WF ($1.17B)....FWIW ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/28/2016 2:35PM

Absent them getting booted, can't imagine WF would voluntarily drop down ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 04/28/2016 1:46PM

Good question -- Is there any weaker P65 school out there? ** -- HokieMJL 04/28/2016 07:56AM

When comparing schools does it matter if a school is public -- VTHokie2000 04/29/2016 12:40PM

In my dreams. There is nothing to suggest -- daveinop 04/27/2016 3:05PM

Except that Wake has an in house examination to determine if they -- BigCrumpy 04/28/2016 10:54AM

Wow! had no idea ** -- daveinop 04/29/2016 08:23AM

I don't see that happening. They're a charter member of the ACC -- corvt2000 04/28/2016 12:58PM

Money for nothing and their chicks for free. OK...no chicks -- Late 80s Hokie 04/27/2016 3:01PM

They are checking out the situation as we type ** -- BigCrumpy 04/28/2016 10:55AM

Checking it out is one thing. Getting close enough to the edge -- VTHokie2000 04/29/2016 11:31AM

They wouldn't need to leave the conference. -- crabcake77 04/30/2016 05:37AM

I disagree that the ACC would give the same deal it gave Notre Dame -- VTHokie2000 04/30/2016 10:11PM

Teams would line up to be football only -- daveinop 04/27/2016 6:13PM

I would view that as bad for the ACC -- Ashcreek Hokie 04/28/2016 12:35PM

Oh I know there would be teams interested in taking Wake's -- VTHokie2000 04/27/2016 3:56PM

Absolutely, Navy, Cincinitti, WVU, UConn -- BigCrumpy 04/28/2016 10:57AM

The conference may be willing to add any of the members you mentioned -- VTHokie2000 04/29/2016 11:23AM

I'm sure several schools don't mind, maybe all of them for all I know. -- daveinop 04/28/2016 07:51AM

Good for them. Now they can become a FCS power. ** -- Old Line Hokie 04/27/2016 1:09PM
