There is a Good Correlation Between VT Football and Academic Prestige
As Tech rose to national attention for FB starting inn the mid-90s, and became much better known as a great place on a national level, the academic quality and diversity of applicants to VT went way up. This really shot up around 2000, and many of the Tech staff coined the phrase "The Vick Effect".

Football and academics not only can co-exist, they are synergistic.
