Audience demographics is absolutely a factor
But I don't believe the demographic difference in the VT/hoo discussion is enough to offset the massive numbers difference in fan support and interest.
An example... In the 90s and 2000s Don Imus and Howard Stern were the two biggest players in syndicated morning radio. Stern's audience was 5x what Imus's was, but Imus's ad revenues and syndication fees were larger, because his audience was much wealthier and created a much larger ROI on advertising investment. Turns out that people who find fart jokes the end all be all don't tend to have large amounts of disposable income, go figure.

With your fanbase, the SEC is a no brainer. **

I think we focus too much on the number of “fans” each school has.

Everything you just said about UVA is multiplied times 5 or more with Duke.
