Not a bulletproof method here, but the overall message is interesting in this link:
The 15 Least Expensive BCS College Football Teams To Watch In Person In 2013 | College Spun ? Social. Local. Consumable. College Sports.

LMAO at UVa. It'd be even worse if Tech fans didn't fill up their stadium for a game.

Note the other ACC members too. This is why its cheaper from Richmond to see Tech play half of our away games than a typical game in Blacksburg. Of course, this is also the reason the ACC is hurting in revenue. FWIW, Clemson (at 15th) is the only ACC member in the 15 most expensive.

From Andy Bitter's blog/mailbag...

....That’s probably why Tech is adding these future home games with teams like Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan and West Virginia (and I’ve heard rumblings that another is in the works that I know fans will like).

Anyone have any knowledge of who this might be?? My guess would likely be a SEC team....maybe the coveted Appalachia matchup we've all been waiting for (vs UT). Even another border state or SEC/B1G team would be pretty cool (UK, Penn St., USC-e).

Well, Penn State and Tennessee are two that Hokie fans have been wanting to see, so that is my guess. But its hard for me to get excited about any game that won't be played until 10 years down the road.

Nothing. Some peeps wanted to go troll some other board

Figured it would only be a matter of time before Wisconsin backed out of the VT game. Isn't this the second time they've done this to VT?

 

[rockhead44]

Wisconsin games moved to 2019-20.

Wisconsin games moved to 2019-20.

"It’s the second time the series has been delayed: Wisconsin and Virginia Tech were originally supposed to face each other in 2008 and 2009. Weaver would only disclose that Virginia Tech’s new nonconference foe for 2016 and 2017 would be a major-conference program."

Andy Bitter ‏@AndyBitterVT : VT-Wisconsin series pushed back to 2019, '20, #Hokies have 'major conference foe' in works as replacement

Weaver said #Hokies in negotiations w/a major conference opponent to replace Wisconsin. Didn't say who. Expects it finalized within a week.

Unfortunate the Wisky series is postponed again, but at least it is "rescheduled". At least it seems like a quiality opponent will be the replacement. Excited to see who the opponent will be! Still sticking with Tennessee or PSU.

 

[Sleepy T]

Tennessee already has UConn and Nebraska (OOC) scheduled for that year...thinking they won't exchange or add VT to that schedule.

Penn State has Pitt, Temple, and Kent State. Much more realistic dropping Kent St.

I heard something about another series with A&M. We'll see.
