West Virginia University is a one of a kind place.
's know how much WVU football, basketball, and really the entire athletics program mean to the state. No one has to explain the importance of it to the people from the state. But for those on the outside, they really don't have a clue.
During a recent guest appearance on the Marty & McGee show on ESPN, WVU head football coach explained the how much the school means to the state and mentioned how it's only one of three schools in the country that have a similar backing. “I think there’s two other programs that are similar in the country and that’s it. Arkansas and Nebraska. Those are the only other two programs that really in my mind represent an entire state. At West Virginia, there’s no other Power Four schools, there’s not any professional organizations at the highest level. We’re 1.8 million strong and we’re all Mountaineers. I don’t think there’s any other university that’s as closely linked to the state than West Virginia. It’s important.
