As it has an ACC area. There are actually quite a few PSU folks up that way as well (not as many as VT, but a good number). Then you factor in that the distance is about equal (though you have to fight DC traffic to get to PSU).

I think the bigger factor up there is that PSU is simply viewed as more big time. It's not a coincidence that a large part of our prime days came at the same time as Penn State was a bit down. Now that Penn State is back, they will continue to be a MAJOR thorn in our side, especially in NOVA. If Tennessee ever gets it together at the same time, we could be in BIG trouble.
