While Virginia Tech’s non-conference slate is all but fully stocked until 2029 —not to mention a trip to South Bend scheduled for Labor Day 2036— the future USC schedule is among the most barren in college football.
Troy has just one non-ND game scheduled beyond 2023 and is running out of time to lock down marquee opponents. Ohio State and Michigan aren’t free until 2028. Nebraska’s got headliners pegged through 2031 and Texas is set until 2034.
Now’s the time for athletic director Lynn Swann and assistant Steve Lopes to get deals done. The program hasn’t scheduled or announced a home-and-home series with a Power 5 team since 2010, when they snagged Texas.
