For years, Virginia Tech fans have wondered why the Hokies don’t play more SEC teams. Well, scheduling in the world of college football involves a lot of politics and it wasn’t like the Hokies and athletic director Whit Babcock weren’t trying. On Thursday, Tech announced two future home-and-home series with Ole Miss and Alabama. The Rebels will come to Lane Stadium in 2032, while the Hokies return the favor in 2037.
The big news, though, involved the Crimson Tide. The Hokies will host Alabama in 2034 and travel to Tuscaloosa in 2035. Additionally, the Hokies will have a home-and-home with another SEC foe in 2024 and 2025, speculation has it that South Carolina will be that opponent.
