It is one of the kick off classic games.
Same reason Alabama played Florida State
And Tennessee played Geogia Tech
In Atlanta in the Chick Fil A Kickoff games (at the Falcon's stadium, not a home game for Georgia Tech)
Exposure.

It is strange they picked UT and WVU. , in past it has been North Carolina teams vs South Carolina.

Both Tennessee and WVU have huge alumni clubs in Charlotte and the surrounding areas. It's not a bad drive from the Tri-Cities or from Knoxville, and both teams can pull from their Atlanta alumni chapters as well. They've gone to the well a lot with UNC vs. USC in that game, so they're changing it up a bit.
It's also expensive. Screw that. I'll watch it from a campground somewhere with a portable satellite dish.
