By Jerry Ratcliffe

Virginia has agreed to a three-game football series with Coastal Carolina beginning in November of 2022 in Charlottesville. It is a two-for-one deal, with the Cavaliers set to play Coastal in Myrtle Beach in 2024 before the final game of the series returns to Scott Stadium in August of 2025.

Coastal is presently ranked No. 16 nationally in the AP Top 25 poll, the 16th consecutive week the Chanticleers have appeared in the AP poll.

“Our scheduling philosophy focuses on bringing strong national competition into Brooks Stadium and we are pleased to announce this series,” said Matt Hogue, vice president of Intercollegiate Athletics. “This series also provides a regional flavor that resonates with many current students and alumni who hail from the Mid-Atlantic area. We look forward to starting the series next season in Charlottesville.”

UVA has offered no comment on the series at this point.
