The decision comes after NCSU has had some issues handling coronavirus.
Sources: NC State’s opening game at Virginia Tech schedule for Sept. 12 has officially been moved. The teams will play on Sept. 26. Decision comes in the wake of NC State athletics taking a pause because of 22 new positive COVID cases in the atheltic department.

Now, let me be very clear here. Some people might want to panic over the fact a major college football game got bumped back.
They might want to fear monger and claim this is a sign that college football is falling apart. Ignore idiots like that.

We all knew games getting postponed was a real possibility. That’s why the schedules were created the way they were.
The schedules are built to provide flexibility for teams in the event of a crisis or issue with coronavirus. The Wolfpack have had some issues.
Now, they’re bumping back the game against the Hokies. There’s literally no reason to panic at all.
