There’s a possibility that Hurricane Ian will make an impact on the United States over the next few days, which has some sporting events up in the air as to whether they will be played as scheduled.
The UNC football program is scheduled to host Virginia Tech on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill. As kickoff draws closer, the North Carolina Athletics Department is closely monitoring the weather situation for the area.
At the moment, the contest between the Tar Heels and Hokies is still scheduled to be played as previously planned.
