MD already has a replacement, so they’ve had this know awhile

Where are you hearing that VT paid to reduce the series? That would be a very odd decision against a P2 regional opponent unless we have a whale to replace them with some media money in made for tv matchups. It might be true that we paid. It’s just odd to me. Very curious to see what additional information is shared by VT or reporters on this. ** Edited by HokieAl at 5/29/2026, 11:23:29 AM

I guess VT didn’t want to since they bought the games out. **

the only possible mitigate here is maybe the ACC agreed to reimburse VT

The ACC owes us money for this, and the loss of a home game this year.

Dang. It's a slap in the face how quickly we were replaced.
KCHokie2 • 05/29/26 08:15 PM ET
I would guess they were holding off on announcing the cancelation until
