Do you think someone like Wake or BC would ever voluntarily drop football?

I'm picking on two of the smallest schools here. Yes they have both had some success in the ACC over the years. But they will never ever be national brands. And they will never fill their stadiums because they just don't have the numbers. I'm sure it is very unlikely, but trying to look at all options here. And who knows, maybe it benefits the schools if they are losing money on football.

The number isn't 6 or 8 teams that would have to leave. It's 12.**

Even if they dropped football, they would still want equal revenue, so no.**

We aren't leaving, read my post below.**
