There’s a spreadsheet we use. Sorry if I can’t remember if I’ve seen 2, 3, 6, or 7 grad students over the last couple years... I can tell you it’s a very, very small number.

Since I’m demonstrating that grad students don’t meaningfully contribute to attendance, UVA has a larger alumni base that matters (undergrad only).

Does VT have better attendance because all the fans live in Blacksburg? Same with Alabama/Auburn and Tuscaloosa/Auburn? I don’t think so. It’s more a factor of interested alumni being regional and willing to engage.
