    You want a major sports team *and* a major
Wizarding school? Sounds greedy to me. ;)

    How about the Pecos mountains? I mean the original
of Pecos Bill *must* have been a wizard. Maybe the
Southwest does need a school....but I admit to being
tempted to put in in the Four Corners area and give it
Anasazi roots.

  California gets two wizarding schools because of its
rich multicultural history, and maybe a little because
I was born and raised there ;)
   How about this: It occurs to me that given wizardly
forms of instantaneous travel, (portkeys and the like)
there is no reason by a campus should be limited to a
single state. Let us therefore say that the Pecos
Mountains are the site of Smoking Hills School's
athletics department, (Quidditch, Quodpot and who
knows what else).
