DC is a pro sports town. Redskins are BY FAR the most popular team in the area. Nothing else is even close
Thats for sure and it still has so many people from other areas with other pro and college loyalties.
VT does not own that market at all, hell 3 or 4 of their games were not on local tv in the DC area. Yet every WVU game was on ESPN or MASN so go figure. Penn State, WVU also have large numbers in the area and you can't forget the countless amounts of SEC fans in there. People in DC watch SEC football regardless.

Which is all the more reason that any new DC viewers that Va Tech may bring is simply gravy. The state of Virginia itself is a good enough TV market to pursue even if you don't add any of the DC metro. UNC would be the absolute best but that has 0% chance of happening. VT people are a solid 50/50 on joining the SEC and are far less attached politically to the ACC than any of the North Carolina teams.
If push came to shove I don't see UVA people putting up a huge fight to keep Va Tech considering they didn't want them coming with them to the ACC in the first place. There are too many Big East teams the ACC could raid to find a replacement anyway for them to protest too harshly to kill a deal
