Does that really qualify as irony?
Yes. Why would it not?
The DAUGHTER of a head FOOTBALL coach in Virginia coming to another university in the same state is NOT "irony." It's called sensible parenting. He must hold ODU in high regard.

Sensible parenting and irony aren't mutually exclusive.

RE: 2014 Old Dominion Football Recruiting Den
Not a big deal but with all the "discussion" here about Mike London by ODU fans, his daughter ends up coming to ODU. It's somewhat ironic to me, anyway. (BTW, I am NOT a Mike London or UVA fan) Good for her, lol.

Welp... as long as we are playing semantics, I feel compelled to share THIS.
This case fits definition 1.1.

Aggie, you know how the dog days of summer go before football starts. It beats the other thread where someone was actually talking about the toe nail fungus ads he was seeing. Now that is under control.

Maybe I was a little too subtle in my attempt at irony. Oh well.

This definition is from your own reference.
1 The expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect:
“Well, this thread is clearly under control.”
Think about it.

Yea, I know. I ironically posed RRM's question, verbatim.

Now it's definitely getting too deep for me. Maybe we should just go back to discussing recruiting for the 2014 class. Oh, that's right. They're all here already.

You wouldn't expect a person (me in this case) to fail to recognize irony of the sort they just presented, hence irony.
