I was once at the same place you are with regard to CS, albeit at Virginia Tech (go Hokies!). I would suggest seriously considering an MIS program in your business school. I switched to Business Information Technology (VT's MIS program) after two full years of CS, and it was the best thing I've ever done. The programming experience I gained through CS has served me well, but the business skills learned in the business school have served me far more. I'm currently working on my MBA, something I definitely wouldn't be doing if I had stayed in CS.

If you're interested at all in starting your own company, which you definitely seem to be, I'd definitely recommend switching majors. The network of people you will meet in a business program will prove far more valuable than CS.

Edit: Good luck in the ACC champ game!
