will play home and home series. Fans that won’t buy tickets because of short and long term scheduling issues will be/ are part of the problem. VT has some good marquee teams on future home and home schedules, but also some not so hot teams (Liberty, ODU, ECU - if they show up) because of financial issues. It’s difficult to schedule on a short term basis unless you are willing to pony up $500k to $1 million or more for G-5 competition, and our finances are not such to do that right now.

So, it’s basically a Catch 22 scenario at this point. Do you punish the school for a scheduling situation that arose because a school (that a lot of TSL posters wanted an end to the long term relationship anyway) cancelled a game and where we could not work out a neutral site game for the coming season (which subsequently resulted in the cancellation of games at that school’s home site), or do you acknowledge it was a bad situation and move forward?
