I share your concerns, Nick

From the NCAA Manual: Team Allocations: Hosts are required to secure a total of 30 rooms (a minimum of 25 doubles). There is a preference that one king room be a suite for the head coach. Detailed information regarding the team hotel(s) shall be distributed by the host institution in the participant manual. Each participating institution is obligated to confirm the accommodations. • Officials and teams may not be assigned to the same property. • Game Officials/Site Representative: Hotel expenses (excluding incidentals) and hotel parking for the officials and site representative shall be paid by the host. When the officials (up to six per site for regionals, up to four per site for super re and site representative(s) (two per site for regionals, one per site for super regionals) are determined, the tournament manager will provide the rooming list to the hotel. In addition to the guest room needs outlined above, the following meeting space will need to be secured: • Team Meeting Spaces (Team Hotel): One complimentary meeting room, per team, accessible 24-hours a day for the duration of the event. • Officials’ Meeting Space (Officials/Site Rep Hotel): One complimentary meeting room accessible 24 hours a day for the duration of the event.

VTChip 03/23/26 03:01 PM ET
I guess Mountain Lake isn’t an option or it’s booked too. Plenty of meeting

Our AD be proactive? Was that meant as a joke?**
Atlee Hokie 03/23/26 03:12 PM ET
Great reply. Should we laugh or should we cry?**
william floyd 03/23/26 04:17 PM ET
And what can he or anyone do?
TomTurkey 03/23/26 03:20 PM ET
Well we may not be only school with graduation conflict BUT
hokiepro 03/23/26 07:13 PM ET
Especially with the size of the graduating classes**

Wish and hope that enough nearby hotels are open on a certain May weekend..
Nick BrownAdmin 03/23/26 11:08 AM ET
Aren't the dorms empty for graduation? If so, put teams in the dorms
laphroaig 03/23/26 04:48 PM ET
Would have to keep Owens open also, correct?**
Atlee Hokie 03/23/26 06:34 PM ET
Yeah, that's definitely an issue.**

Have the regional dates been announced?**
Chesapeake_Hokie 03/23/26 11:43 AM ET
The first games of the CWS are slated for Thursday, May 28. [Continued]
Nick BrownAdmin 03/23/26 12:50 PM ET
Thanks so much @Nick Brown
Chesapeake_Hokie 03/23/26 01:54 PM ET
So the visiting team hotel might be in Bluefield. Is this a problem? 😉**
vatechcowpatty 03/23/26 01:43 PM ET
More likely Princeton. The hotel situation in Bluefield is non-existent **
Nortazhokie 03/23/26 02:47 PM ET
Graduation is enough of a ****show for hotels. Can’t imagine a regional too
The_Stratman 03/23/26 01:12 PM ET
it's 30 rooms per team for 3 teams, plus rooms for NCAA officials
VTChip 03/23/26 01:52 PM ET
Oh I misread that
The_Stratman 03/23/26 01:59 PM ET
They did it back when we hosted the regionals in 2022. **

Well that is good news!**
The_Stratman 03/23/26 06:03 PM ET
In retrospect the regionals that year were actually a week later.
RJHokie 03/23/26 06:24 PM ET
This isn't true at all. Do you know what demand for hotel rooms
King of Hokies 03/23/26 02:27 PM ET
If there’s an excuse for not doing something; our Ath.Dept will use it to..
hokiepro 03/23/26 05:10 PM ET
They just have zero imagination or ability to problem solve**
King of Hokies 03/23/26 05:32 PM ET
In looking at the metrics below, VT is in good shape, BUT

Good suggestion other than the distance involved
VTChip 03/23/26 03:20 PM ET
I misplaced the comment. I meant it in response to your $1,000/night
nkhooch 03/24/26 01:51 PM ET
I’ve got to know if VT admin has punted on hosting due to graduation
hokiepro 03/23/26 12:19 PM ET
I graduated on June 6 - quarter system

We don’t need any upsets in the 3
