IU football’s future schedules became a little clearer Tuesday when IU announced a home-and-home series with Virginia in 2017 and 2018.
The Hoosiers will travel to Charlottesville, Va., on Sept. 9, 2017, and will play the Cavaliers in Bloomington on Sept. 8, 2018.
“As I have previously noted, like IU, the University of Virginia is one of the premier public universities from one of the top conferences in the country,” IU Athletic Director Fred Glass said in a statement. “In addition to previously announced series against UConn (2019, 2020), Cincinnati (2021, 2022) and Ball State (2018-2020), this matchup is appealing to our players, alumni and fans.”
IU lost the only two previous matchups between the schools in 2009 and 2011.
IU’s 2017 schedule is almost complete with the addition of Virginia. The Hoosiers have one remaining non-conference game to schedule other than the previously decided home game against UMass.
Swapping out UMass for Ball State, the 2018 schedule is similar. IU still has one remaining nonconference game yet to be added.
The 2015 Hoosiers will be back in action at 2 p.m. Saturday in the annual spring game at Memorial Stadium.
