The Carolina schools didn't want to travel up "them mountains"...


during the winter months. Even today, Tech's location is considered a detriment to recruiting. I still hear UNC, UVA, NC State fans say, "Tech is in the middle of nowhere." I like the natural beauty surrounding Blacksburg but if the state was to start a land-grant university today, Tech probably would be located in the Lynchburg or Richmond areas. Appomattox or Farmville would be near the center of the state. Tech just wouldn't be the same without the mountains. I'm happy with where it is now. IMHO, it's still easier to get to than State College.
