Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference fans. It’s somewhat underreported, but Virginia Tech has scheduled Liberty to a series of future football games. I am big on scheduling in-state football programs – scheduling in-state football programs saves travel money and it keeps the money in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
