If I were a kid from Virginia, I'd kill for the opportunity to go to school like UVA.

Most kids in general do want to go to UVA. Just not the football-playing ones.

George Welsh, Al Groh, and Mike London all got players to UVA. Welsh especially was very successful in the 90s.

There are a lot of factors at play, but UVA's program hasn't been run competently for a long time. The Ronald Curry/Michael Vick deal was also damaging for UVA, perception-wise.
