What’s worse than getting destroyed by West Virginia 70-33 in the Orange Bowl? Having West Virginia put up a sign of the score 70-33 for recruiting purposes on highway I-79. It just so happens that the highways speed limit is 70 miles per hour so of course they incorporated that into the billboard. It’s important to drive safe.

 

WVU spokeswoman Becky Lofstead said WVU advertises on billboards, one on I-79 and the other on I-68, to use as recruitment marketing. The Orange Bowl message is on both of those boards.

The school spends about $14,000 a year on the billboards, Lofstead said. It is likely the new ones will be displayed for six months.

The billboard can be seen entering West Virginia from the north side of the state. The Dominion Post had this to say.

Does WVU advertise on Billboards? Wonder how much it costs?
