UTEP removes Virginia from schedule

Despite an unofficial agreement, the Cavalier football team will not face the University of Texas El Paso Miners in 2004.

The two schools had agreed to play in El Paso this year and in Charlottesville in 2005, but new Miners coach Mike Price has decided the Cavaliers don't fit into his plans for the next couple of seasons.

Virginia must now find an eleventh game to fill its 2004 schedule. The current home schedule includes games against non-conference opponents Syracuse and Akron, and conference foes Maryland, Clemson, North Carolina and Miami. ACC opponents Florida State, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and Duke are set to host the Cavaliers.

With the eleventh matchup still undecided, the Cavaliers may end up with seven home games in the upcoming season. Syracuse is slated to come to Charlottesville for the season opener, but these plans may change pending the release of the official 2004 conference schedule.
