Distance and logistically it is a wash
A key for tech has always been getting kids to Blacksburg. You tour the campus and step into tech’s athletic facilities and they sell themselves
But penn state also sells itself. Let’s put the tragic events behind us whether it be ours or theirs. They’re no longer a factor in current recruits minds
I visited PSU baseball with my son as part of a showcase event. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t impressed. Penn State is bigger and it has a 20 year jump on tech
With the recent and future improvements Virginia tech has closed the gap. 30 years nobody was deciding between VT and Penn state for football. There was no competition. Today there is competition but Penn State has its positive history and B1G membership which sells well with top recruits
