NC State at Va Tech postponed 2 weeks amid COVID-19 cases
Associated PressNorth Carolina State’s season-opener at Virginia Tech was postponed for two weeks Wednesday because of a cluster of COVID-19 cases among Wolfpack athletes. Moving the game from Sept. 12 to Sept. 26 is the Atlantic Coast Conference’s first disruption of the conference schedule since the league announced plans to go ahead with the season, though some programs have had to find new nonconference opponents after other schools called off fall sports. “We appreciate the ACC and Virginia Tech working together in partnership to move this game to a mutual open weekend,” N.C. State athletic director Boo Corrigan said. Virginia Tech coach Justin Fuente on Tuesday called it a “very fluid situation.” “It’s like you walk off the practice field and you’re just waiting for the new news that’s happened,” he said.
