What really exacerbates the imbalance is that with MD a game in College Park was seen and covered by the media in the DC and Baltimore DMA's. That meant all of DC, all of MD, all of NW Va, all of Delaware, and southside Pa from the Delaware circle to Bedford Pa. NC State used to get a lot of important recruits from PA, MD, and DC. Now that game is replaced with a game with Louisville and a less recruiting area much further away from Raleigh. Not only did the Atlantic schools get kicked out of MD, they only play Virginia twice in 12 years and Pa once in 12 years. Conversely, any game shown in Charlotte covers the northside of South Carolina, any game shown in Asheville is part of the Greenville DMA. I could go on but the reality is that the Atlantic got screwed with recruiting footprint, and with Miami's collapse instead of the Atlantic have football programs 1, 4, and 5 out of 12, you ended up with programs 1, 1A, and 4 in the Atlantic with the best program in the Coastal being a 3 at best. Appearing in what had been our second or third most important recruiting market in football and basketball was taken from State. Clemson and FSU lost not so much a recruiting market but lost a home game each year to a small alumni base school in the far northeast.
