  • The Virginia–Virginia Tech rivalry is an American college rivalry that exists between the Virginia Cavaliers sports teams of the University of Virginia and the Virginia Tech Hokies sports teams of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Both universities are members of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). In ACC sports that have divisional play, such as college baseball and college football, both compete in the ACC's Coastal Division. In the 2005-06 and 2006-07 school years, the program-wide rivalry was called the Commonwealth Challenge. The Cavaliers won both years of the Challenge but future sponsorship was not sought out of respect for the Virginia Tech massacre. Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage stated at the time that "now is not the time to be talking about bragging rights." Virginia and Virginia Tech had actually been conference rivals in the past prior to the latter joining the ACC - the two schools were in the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association together from 1907–22, then in the Southern Conference from 1922–37, when Virginia left (Tech would stay in the SoCon until the 1960s).
