Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5366241, member: 1145"] Yes, in most years that is true, and the history for why goes way back to the WW2 era days when colleges were hit with the 2nd craze to stop 'professionalism of college sports' by focusing all their energies in ringing in football. The 2 state schools in the South that bought that bug hardest were UVA and UNC. That craze, by the way, is why the Ivy League was officially formed playing no scholarship sports. The value of both schools today is what it is because of overall athletics departments and the immense value of each institution's prestige and clout, as well as ideal location within one of the 2 regions that are SUPER for CFB.
