The Thompson-Wootten feud was certainly a factor, but Thompson left six years ago and Wootten three and it doesn't seem like things are moving much. As to the above post saying Georgetown is more IAC friendly and Maryland more WCAC-friendly, is that a Catholic issue, an economics issue, or an admissions issue? Are fewer WCAC kids looking at Georgetown as a whole? Just to echo Jimmy Hoya's perspective with a, ahem, more dated perspective, I've always perceived the same. There were definitely more students from GPrep, St. Albans, etc. in the student body when DFW and I attended than from St. John's, DeM, Carroll, etc (Gonzaga being the exception, of course, because of the Jesuit affiliation). GU seems to draw more Catholic private school grads than Catholic diocesan school grads (hence the IAC/WCAC split). It's probably all 3 issues but I don't think it's changed that much since the late 70s/early 80s. Maybe the shift took place earlier (60s & 70s)...
