My take on that is that VT is a football first school, which would not be lost on potential recruits or coaches. I think we all have a good sense of which coaches wield the power and which ones don't. I'm not saying that is good or bad but there would definitely be implications, including the one you mention.

Let me simplify things:

Beamer wins and puts people in the pros. If you build it, they will come (no matter if you have tall buildings and an uber urban environment).
