Could someone argue JMU was high risk-low reward? Sure, but we have altered past schedules and dates and messed with contract issues in the past with ODU, even effecting future dates, so is and ODU had already had enough contract and schedule alterations in the past that ODU was left as a choice to stay. VMI obviously a home game, a win, a military thing. JMU was the easy choice, but it wasn't simply that "we ducked JMU" due to being scared.

If the JMU game had been kept instead of VMI, then VT would played an ACC -- VTHokie2000 Jul 21, 2026 at 03:12 PM ET

If VMI was canceled instead of JMU, I think the first game is an ACC team. -- Wythe Hokie Jul 21, 2026 at 02:35 PM ET

Correct. Keep in mind that JMU was already scheduled to play Liberty at -- VTHokie2000 Jul 21, 2026 at 02:55 PM ET

Regardless of the date, we are ducking JMU and it is probably the right -- hokiehill1117 Jul 21, 2026 at 12:45 PM ET

Folks I'm not rehashing if we ducked JMU or not, I simply wanted to know... -- PennHokie Jul 21, 2026 at 01:50 PM ET

My recollection is 60% chance of @Miami, @Clem or @SMU opener if JMU kept -- marcbvtgm Jul 21, 2026 at 02:50 PM ET

JF is smart enough to avoid JMU for his first game at VT** -- tallahasseehokie Jul 21, 2026 at 12:28 PM ET

Except I believe JMU wouldn't have been the first game** -- marcbvtgm Jul 21, 2026 at 02:52 PM ET
