As a Hokie, it drives me crazy that journalists (and ESPN) continue to use the non-name “VA Tech”. It’s VT, Virginia Tech, or the full name, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. https://brand.vt.edu/licensing/university-trademarks.html#tr...
As a fellow Hokie I'm just happy they aren't calling us Virginia Tech University.
I occasionally hear people pronounce it out loud as "vah tech". But seeing it written "VA Tech" is even more bizarre.
