The Old Dominion University and University of South Carolina football programs will meet for the first time ever on Aug. 31, 2024, ODU Senior Associate Athletic Director Bruce Stewart confirmed Friday.
A member of the Southeastern Conference, generally ranked as the nation's best football conference, South Carolina will pay ODU a $1.5 million guarantee to play in Columbia's Williams-Brice Stadium. It will be the largest payout ODU has ever received.
ODU received $1.32 million for playing at Liberty in 2018.
The game strengthens an already attractive 2024 schedule for the Monarchs, who host Virginia Tech and East Carolina.
