but you take a Wake Forest? A small private school with a small fan base?

This is not about your person snobbery, it is about expanding the footprint of the brands. Agree or disagree, fine, but they are not adding teams in existing markets, that defeats the purpose and they are not adding small private schools over large state schools.

Tell me, what does North Carolina State add? They are perennially a 6 or 7 win team over time at best.

NC State:
All-time record: 560-542-55 (.508)
Bowl record: 14-12-1
National titles: 0
Conference titles: 7 ACC

Their best final ranking ever was #9 (1974).

Their baseball and basketball have a little more to offer, but I still wouldn't be jumping for joy over them.

You need to stop looking at this from a football fan perspective. It is about TV sets and revenue.

People that bring up football records are failing to see the big picture in conference expansion.

a large growing state and a much larger following. Again it is NOT about adding an elite FB team, it is about expanding into new markets. A state school with 35,000 students > than a private one with < 10,000. NC States all time FB accomplishments or lack there of is completely irrelevant.
