Markets and ticket sales
Pitt does not deliver western Pennsylvania. It's a good school, but it's expensive so many locals can't afford to go there. And it is overshadowed by the Steelers and Pens and Pirates. The reality is that there are as many WVU followers in western Pennsylvania as there are Pitt followers, and there are almost as many Penn State followers in the area as there are for Pitt and WVU combined.
As for traveling ticket sales, WVU would become one of the three or four best traveling fan bases the minute it hit the ACC, along with Clemson and Tech. And people underestimate how many ex-West Virginians live in the Carolinas.
