Summary
Virginia Tech and Maryland’s once-promising four-game football series is now trimmed to just two games — in 2026 and 2029 — after the 2027 and 2028 matchups were scrapped. Athletic Director Whit Babcock says the move prioritizes fan experience and scheduling flexibility, while coach James Franklin calls it a smart regional matchup. With a storied 32-game history and Maryland holding a slight edge, the Hokies aren’t backing down — they’re just being strategic, especially with a packed ACC slate ahead. And hey, Franklin’s got a solid record against Maryland, so this isn’t about fear — it’s about smart scheduling. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
