That's good news. I really hope South Carolina does ending coming to Greenville.

Any info on what the buy out is....... I am always suspicious that a P5 team may buy out the last game on a schedule like that, then they get the 2 for 1 so many of them want.

I'm a big fan of the three years in a row. If I recall this is how the current VT series started.

I have long envied how the schools in ECU's region agree to home and home series with them. Up here in our neck of the woods schools like Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, etc. aren't willing to do things like this.

in 2019 we will have Virginia Tech and South Carolina at home. If we have an FCS opponent, that would give us 7 home games.

Should make for good season ticket sales.

ECU's season tickets sales are good anyway, but that slate should help ensure a sellout. Student Pirate Club tickets sold out today, 12,500 I believe.

I am hoping you know more than what is announced, http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/aac/east...irates.php otherwise we still need quite a few games after 2020.

yeah, I've always felt bad for Cincinnati in that regard. I can't remember Iowa, Ohio St, Michigan or Penn St ever going to Nippert. Was there a time decades ago when this happened? ECU is in a college town with no competition from the pro's and its still the south where College football is King. Unlike the research triangle....where its a bit more complex...eastern attitudes, split allegiances to the NC ACC schools, college basketball fanatics. I've been long telling people that ECU is a sleeping dragon in college football. Unlike Miami, USF, Houston, Tulane, SMU, Pitt, BC, Temple etc. who's fans are NFL first and fair weather (even when playing big boy schools in big boy conferences) ECU's fans are loyal and college football is the #1 passion, with nothing else coming close. As it should be. Cheers!

Solid. I like UNC and NCSU on a three year rotation. Hopefully some additional WVU dates can be added and maybe a series with Duke. I'd love to have Clempsen in Greenville too.
