The NC State-UVA football game that was supposed to be played in Brazil will be relocated to Charlottesville

That's what Matt Brown of Extra Points had surmised. He said there weren't going to be many UVA or NC State fans make the travel and hinted that the locals were being priced out.

So the insinuation there is that scalpers were buying up all of the tickets?

I believe so. But not 100% sure. Most of his stuff is behind a paywall so I wasn't able to read the entire article, just what he tweeted.

It’s a shame, but also not unexpected. Reselling culture seems to be expanding beyond the USA.

From the rumored PSL prices for the Commanders that they sent out in a survey to the current season ticket holders, there is no way the average fan can afford those prices unless they buy tickets for all events to sell at a profit. I’m out on my seats if they’re asking for five figures.

I went to the Vanier Cup like 25 years ago but that's about the only game I've ever really watched.

I don't even really watch the CFL too much unless its summer and I need a football fix.

College football is bigger than ever in Canada right now, hope this game is a success and we see more games played here in the future.

Been trying to add U Sports football to follow as well. Picked Mount Allison as they seem like big underdogs up there. I enjoy CFL in the summer.

NC St vs Virginia...a conference game...in Brazil? Um, yeah. That's one way to take a huge dump on both fanbases.

What's next...Oklahoma vs Texas in Argentina? GTFO here with that ****.
