Virginia, Indiana agree to two-game football series

By Jerry Ratcliffe

Virginia has agreed to a two-game football series with Indiana for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.

UVA will host the ‘27 game on Sept. 4, and will return the game to Bloomington on Sept. 16 in ‘28. The Cavaliers have three other games scheduled with Big Ten foes between 2022 and 2027, with a trip to Illinois on Sept. 10 in ‘22, a game at Maryland in 2023 and a home game with the Terps in ‘24.

Virginia has a 2-2 record against Indiana, having won the first two meetings  in 2009 (47-7 in Charlottesville) and 2011 (34-31 in Bloomington), and the Hoosiers taking the last two in 2017 (34-17 in Charlottesville) and 2018 (20-16 in Bloomington).

The next two games against Indiana is a reflection of the alliance between the ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12 announced last August, which included a collaborative effort in scheduling future games.
