Earlier this week it was announced that NC State and Virginia would play one another in a home-and-home series, with the Wolfpack hosting in 2025, and the Cavaliers hosting in 2026.
Prior to the announcement, NC State already had their non-conference slate booked for both of those seasons.
As a result of the addition of the Virginia series, a previously scheduled non-conference game from each season would need to be dropped. While it hasn’t been officially announced by the school, Joe Giglio and David Glenn seem to think that the series with Appalachian State is going to be dropped.
It would make the most sense, considering the Mountaineers were the only opponent the Wolfpack was scheduled to play in both 2025 and 2026. It would also make sense, considering the fact that ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips isn’t a fan of ACC teams playing Group of 5 schools on the road.
I will tell you this much. The Mountaineer faithful certainly believe NC State is dropping the series with App State, and it just takes a little scrolling on X (formerly Twitter) to get a read on their feelings on the situation.
This situation brings to mind the bill that has been proposed in the North Carolina House of Representatives that would force NC State and UNC to play App St., ECU and UNC Charlotte in Football, Men’s Basketball and Women’s Basketball.
If the addition of UVA means the elimination of App St. on NC State’s schedule, what are your thoughts? Share in the comments.

Kid originally committed to Nebraska before signing with Mizzu. He can play both RT and OG and if you watch his film, he plays with the type of attitude you want in your OL. Nice pickup by the staff and a kid… Read more »
Why has Erickson not played at Missouri in two years? Are we getting desperate this early in the transfer cycle to get players that have not proven any worth in college?
How many more high school recruits and transfers needed to fill out the roster?
Just wanted to say thanks for all of your work during football and basketball season and how on top of things you stay with recruiting stories!
