AD Jim Weaver flew to Nashville by private jet Monday to join a news conference and accept a bowl bid for VT from the inaugural American General Music City Bowl.
Likely opponent is Alabama.
Virginia Tech is one of only nine teams that have received a bowl bid in each of the past six seasons. Last year there were 10 teams who had made it to five straight. Weaver gave this accounting of how the bowl spot for Tech unfolded. Scouts from the Music City and Gator bowls were at Saturday's game. Weaver spent 1.5 hours talking with Music City's Executive Director Scott Ramsey after the game Saturday and they had dinner together.
