NC State may have a similar relationship with the country and could have been planning to do the same thing. Most likely the "promotion" would have been nothing more than the announcers doing a filler segment during the game where they may have showed a video clip of the players visiting the university and then they talk about UVA's (or NC State's) said relationship with the Braisilian school.

I'm not sure any college game will really move the needle in Brazil.

I can't imagine many Brazilians were dying to see a UVA-NC State game

Probably - otherwise ESPN would have no 3:30 game. Schedule is light.**
