VTChip

And they are STUDENT-ATHLETES! Could you do a some type of pod games like the Covid year when three teams met at one location and played game against each other? Does VT play Cal and Sanford on one road trip - perhaps one team over the weekend and a doubleheader on Tuesday against the other? And to your point, the Cal and Sanford kids really get the short straw, It will be an interesting ride.

So, most fans won't be able to see those games in person? -- Old Line Hokie Sep 01, 2023 at 02:24 PM ET

VT will probably only play Stanford and Cal on the road every 4 years or so** -- hokietony Sep 01, 2023 at 01:38 PM ET
