Let's say we get to host as a #16 seed and win. Wouldn't that mean that we
would play a Super Regional Best of 3 against the #1 seed (assuming they had also won)??

That’s graduation weekend, so probably not going to host. No hotel rooms.

Don't believe that's correct.

No, you read the calendar correctly. It’s
the part after that.

Are you "assuming" or do you know that for a fact?
Wouldn't it be possible to house teams in the new athletic dorm? Classes have ended by then and there should be plenty of available rooms.

Teams, maybe. But where are all of their fans going to stay?

Pulaski, Wytheville, Hillsville, Galax, Bluefield, Princeton, etc…..
Maybe Lexington, etc……. But clearly not close to Bburg initially.

Hotels must be within a 30 mile radius. Unless we missed one, Sam Mostow,
Carter Hill and I took the labor of looking at every ADEQUATE hotel within the 30 mile radius. Every half-decent hotel was fully booked through Saturday and almost all of them were fully booked through the entire weekend.

Lotta campgrounds on the new river off 460.

No doubt for the teams.
Just being facetious though. You could probably get a waiver if there were openings at decent/adequate hotels in the Roanoke Valley area.

Virginia Tech offers dorm rooms for $450 for the entire graduation weekend.
They only offer the air-conditioned rooms, and I highly doubt the NCAA would allow Tech to host teams, umpires, etc., in non-air-conditioned rooms. They also seem to have been sold out this year. ** Edited by Nick Brown at 5/6/2026, 12:37:39 PM

Thanks for sharing, Nick. I didn't know about that

The bigger question is why would the temporary bleachers have been . . .
. . . installed if there was absolutely no chance of hosting? I don't for a minute think graduation took hosting off the table.

Ha! Zero x anything is still zero…….
But maybe the new AD will have other thoughts…… Or at least be able to fully explain why or why not there are charges for softball admission.

Yes it would.

You are correct.
But if we're the #18 seed, we would play on the road versus the #15 seed and then go visit the overall #2 seed. Pick your poison.

With a new AD, maybe some conversation about raising the stakes on SB.
