Neither UVA nor WVU would ever call that a major rivalry


UVA was in a conference with Maryland for 60 years, so we've played a lot of games, but I can't say I've ever thought it a major rivalry in football or basketball. Lacrosse and Soccer would be rivalries, but I can live without those. UVA fans who live in the DC market like it because of the convenience. But that's about it. UVA fans in New York and Boston would like UConn.

With WVU it's way down the list too. Pitt, VT, and Syracuse are all ahead of it.

I know Duke and UNC don't care about it in basketball. Those basketball rivalries were in the minds of Maryland fans. The 4 North Carolina ACC schools all put the rivalries with each other ahead of anyone else.

UConn doesn't have a long established FBS football history. That's true. Maryland's ended in the 1980s. I don't see much difference.
