Can West Virgina Field A Football Team With West Virginians?

Sometimes I wonder if i am a little to cerebral in what catches my attention and what I regularly read. One of my favorite blogs happens to be The Sports Law Professor, because I am a fan of sports and interested in law, and seeing the breakdowns by blogger Jeffrey Standen, while most of my sports fan friends would call dull or obsessive, I find facinating.

A post this morning brought up what might be interesting trivia and definitely a interesting question. A commentator during the Gator Bowl mentioned casually the West Virginia University Mountaineers football team has not one single player on its roster who is actually from West Virginia. Jeffrey give a rundown on whether, based on the fact that West Virginia University is a state school, this is a good thing for fans, taxpayers, and the players themselves.
