Around College Basketball 25-26

I don’t see Wake dropping football.

There's no need for drastic measures if there's still some semblance of an ACC after Virginia and UNC go to the Big 10 and Clemson and FSU (and maybe VaTech and/or N.C. St.) go to the SEC.

But if the rest of the teams panic and try to join the Big 12, then some schools are going to be faced with hard choices. Would a school like Wake join a much lesser conference just for football? Do they want to be independent in football? They don't currently operate football at the monstrous deficit levels as a lot of other schools, but what happens to that relatively minuscule deficit if they need to play in a non-name brand conference?

Wake won't be able to keep it going too far after the ACC is through. It's a simple math. They are barely scraping by now with the ACC media money.

After the ACC is raided, it probably merges with the Big East and has lousy to mediocre football until it becomes economically infeasible to continue.

Another league would probably form with old ACC schools. I think they would remain a program with no chance to make the playoffs that keeps football as long as possible.

And one old AAC school…
