I was checking Maryland’s Out of Conference opponents for the future and noticed they have a 4 year series scheduled with Virginia Tech to run from 2026 to 2029. 4 years is double the length of a standard home and home series. I like the idea of a home and home against VT but 4 years of it is a little long. I chocked it up to Maryland’s AD being obsessed with scheduling ACC opponents in the non-conference because Maryland has a home and home with Wake Forest that runs through the 2030 and 2031 season, but VT’s Out of Conference schedule is pretty…interesting.
A 10 year series with Old Dominion that started in 2022 and runs until 2031? Why would you do this? A 4 year series against Liberty? Virginia Tech is the only Power Conference opponent on Liberty’s future schedules, who does that say more about? Having home and homes against Alabama and South Carolina running through the same two years in 2034 and 2035? You are not a MAC team have some self-respect. A home and home against Arizona in 2029 and 2030? Could be a pretty fun series but do you really want to go to Arizona in Early September it’s probably still going to be pretty hot. They also have some teams scheduled in two random years. Ole Miss in 2032 and 2037. BYU in 2030 and 2033. Notre Dame in 2033 and 2036. Is the Notre Dame thing part of their deal with the ACC because they also have a home and home with Notre Dame in 2027 and 2028.
I’m not going to pretend to know the logistics behind schedule making and stuff so if someone can explain why Virginia Tech’s schedule makers are like this I’d appreciate it.
