The Michigan Wolverines and the Virginia Tech Hokies agreed to a home-and-home series on the gridiron back in 2013 that was to take place in 2020 and 2021. Well, it’s not happening now. Late last week, it was announced that Michigan had paid the Hokies a cool $375K to back out of the series with Virginia Tech.
The biggest question is why?
Well, conspiracy theorists will say that Michigan is afraid of Virginia Tech. After all, the Wolverines replaced the Hokies on their schedule with Arkansas State. Not Arkansas. Arkansas State.
A closer look at UM’s schedule and you can see Washington already on the docket in both 2020 and 2021.
