Just like when ODU played a 5 game run with VATECH. 3 games at Tech and 2 at ODU. ODU wins 4 out of 5. Seth (idiot) Greenberg said after that series " we will never do that again " and to my knowledge we haven't played tech since. So in the future remember uva is really just an extension of vatech...both cowards but one wears a preppy little tie. Hey if you don't believe me ask UMBC.

That's what I don't get. If they're scared of losing to ODU, then why would they play two home-and-homes against VCU, especially after VCU beat them at their place to start the first one? If they're scared of losing to a lesser team, why are they scheduling JMU and George Mason at all, much less going to their place? It couldn't be the "coach won't play his former assistants thing" because Tony Bennett has no connection to anyone at ODU. I know JJ's tenure didn't end the way they wanted but unless he ate babies and crapped them out on the graves of war veterans, I can't imagine it's because of burnt bridges.

It's weird af. VT at least is consistent in their unwillingness to play many state teams. UVa seems as though they're willing to play any Virginia school except ODU, and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

Because VCU has a higher ceiling than ODU and a loss to them isn't necessarily a resume killer (in most years). Last year was a down year for them, we all know it.
