Virginia. Also, if you look at where the largest percentage of VT alumni are located within VA, then the topic 3 historically have been in this order: 1. NOVA 2. 757 3. Roanoke/NRV When a person talks about VT's footprint, it isn't unreasonable for someone to conclude that it is the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. Heck you probably could even say that VT views it that way because of the decisions on what information to include on that webpage. When people talk about the importance of NOVA, it isn't uncommon to use it interchangeably with DMV because NOVA obviously makes up the "V." Given the DMV's unique relationship, it is possible that VT has a strong presence in the "D" and "M" too. Now that presence may not come in the form of a physical campus in those locations, but the impact the close proximity the NOVA campuses have on DC and MD. In addition to the large percentage of alumni living and/or working within the DMV. Whereas, with WVU it is likely more about having a large percentage of alumni living and/or working within the DMV. However, WVU is about 4 hours away from DC. It is possible the school has a certain level of influence within the DMV because of the relationships the school has built over the years and/or the benefits the school has received because of the work influential politicians (i.e. Senator Robert Byrd, Senator Joe Manchin, etc.) have done while in office. I know Manchin graduated from WVU and I think Byrd may have graduated from Marshall. So a similar argument could be made that WVU's football extends beyond just Morgantown and even the entire state of WV. Given where Morgantown is located within WV, its footprint likely extends into parts of OH, PA, MD, and VA.
