It will be great to have someone bringing attention on the website and in the tidewater market to what's going on but we struggle mightily to get attention outside of that area. As someone who lives in the Richmond area it would be nice to see our university get some attention and not just schools West of I-95 (with a little W&M sprinkled in).

Getting coverage in other markets is tricky. The school and/or fans have to make a case that there's interest in areas like Richmond and D.C. for ODU coverage outside what they already get from the wire services. My understanding is that JMU and W&M have more alumni in Richmond than ODU, which is part of why they get outsize coverage from the Times-Dispatch and TV stations there relative to the Monarchs.
