Maryland - makes no sense.

Maryland makes all the sense. It contols the media, everyone who was talking about the "DC market" and VT don't know a thing. Maryland is the school in that area, including DC and northern Virgina which equals $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
period. Perfect fit. You can't look at this as a fan, who's better in what sport blah blah blah
they are in a BCS conference and have been to BCS football bowls and won NCAA tournaments. That's all that matters, they are competing and bring a huge amount of alumni (power alumni too) and eyeballs

I have lots of family in DC. I have never met a Maryland fan or alum and don't see a ton of Maryland stuff around. I've met a ton of VT alums and see VT stuff everywhere. I have no idea on the actual numbers or anything, just personal experience. VT is a much better cultural fit with fans and their support also, though I know that probably means very little in all this.

I lived in DC for 10 yrs. VaTech sells out 80k FexEx Field while UMd can't sell out 50k Byrd Stadium. College football doesn't get much attention on the local news. UMd get more basketball attention than VaTech, but Georgetown dominates college bball coverage. SEC wants a football school. Maryland is a basketball school. Maryland also fails first question on SEC application.... "what year did your state cede from the Union?"
