FWIW the NCAA doesn’t like this trend of canceling

To game the RPI metrics. Not saying that’s what they’re doing, but schools might want to be mindful of the appearance of such actions. ** Edited by RVAHokie05 at 5/11/2026, 6:13:23 PM ** Edited by RVAHokie05 at 5/11/2026, 6:14:34 PM

Curious Hokie • 05/12/26 12:00 PM ET

Same rule applies for baseball.

Do what you got to do **
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/12/26 12:44 AM ET
Good.
RJHokie • 05/11/26 12:38 PM ET
Well, probably the biggest reason was to not take an R.P.I. hit
HokieNL • 05/11/26 12:28 PM ET
That and get the pitching back on track.**

Hasn't hurt the SEC teams...
EDGEMAN • 05/12/26 07:02 AM ET
Our crushing loss to Marshall at home earlier, makes it look more suspect**
HokieNL • 05/11/26 06:38 PM ET
This isn’t something new.
RJHokie • 05/11/26 06:22 PM ET
They should hate it and penalize it
Vippie1 • 05/11/26 06:17 PM ET
How about penalizing teams that play few games on the road...
EDGEMAN • 05/12/26 07:03 AM ET
apples and oranges
Vippie1 • 05/12/26 08:03 AM ET
I agree completely - not a good look for us or anyone else who does it.**
Walkin` Willie • 05/13/26 07:10 PM ET
Doesn't appear they will penalize SEC teams for weak OOC schedules.
EDGEMAN • 05/12/26 11:48 AM ET
Strategery
gemrooty • 05/11/26 12:38 PM ET
Yeah, a rest certainly can't hurt. I hope we take 2 or 3 from Clemson
HokieNL • 05/11/26 12:43 PM ET
This weekend was a classic case of playing down to an opponent. Everything
VT One • 05/11/26 01:35 PM ET
If we can beat NC State, we can beat Clemson
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/12/26 12:56 AM ET
UncG had won 6 straight heading into Sunday’s finale - they were rolling **
