Virginia Should... Abandon All Hope?

SportsOnEarth.com's Michael Weinreb wrote an article listing a program in each conference he'd least like to be a fan of at this juncture of his existence: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/79495344/least-hopeful-teams-in-the....

Atlantic Coast Conference: Virginia

Five-Year Record: 21-40. Average 2013 attendance: 46,279. Stadium capacity: 61,500.

It's kind of astounding that the answer here isn't Duke -- I suppose that fact alone lends hope to every team on this list -- but Virginia, under once-coveted coach Mike London, has been more consistently mediocre for a longer period of time than any of the other conference schools whose fan bases traditionally only get excited about recruiting power forwards. Virginia did sign three five-star recruits in the offseason, but it's not impossible to imagine the Cavaliers' only two wins this season coming against Richmond and Kent State, and even those are not locks. Where art thou, Moore to Moore?

Runner-Up: Wake Forest (23-38 over the past five seasons)
