This is according to a report from ESPN's Brett McMurphy.
ND's ACC foes: 2014-Home: UNC, UL, Wake; At FSU, SU; 2015-Home: BC, GT; At Clem, Pitt, UVa; 2016-Home: Duke, UM, VT; At: NCSU, SU— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) April 19, 2013
Here's the current 2016 non-conference schedule:
Sept. 3 Liberty Blacksburg, Va.
Sept. 10 Wisconsin Blacksburg, Va.
Sept. 17 East Carolina Blacksburg, Va.
Sept. 24 Old Dominion Blacksburg, Va.
Who is going? Who do you think gets bumped for Notre Dame?

I'd say Liberty gets bumped, but that's a heck of an opening two weeks. Could make for some good primetime TV, though.
ODU or Liberty is getting bumped...although with our luck ECU will get bumped and we'll continue to play them forever
Yes. I vote ODU just because of back to back tough games.
Meh, those future dates change all the time. I would guess we would be more intent on keeping the ODU game and bumping liberty off the schedule, but probably rearranging when we play each team.
I hope this isn't a case of us getting pooped on by the ACC (DeAndre Hopkins style) once again. We're in the last group of ACC teams to play ND (Duke, Miami, VT, and NCSU) and we play them on the road, of course. Even the stink shows known as UVa and Pitt home games get ND at home. I guess they figure that's the only chance they have of selling those games out while we'll sell ours out anyway, but it still miffs me.
I'm excited for the players to get a chance to play there. Sucks for us who would travel to Blacksburg, but still will be cool.
I've been dying for us to play ND, finally going to happen.
A turkey leg for you for referencing the DeAndre Hopkins incident.
Notre Dame is going to have to adjust their schedule too. Most schedules I'm seeing show the 10th as their only open date.
We'll bump ND from our schedule, since we'll be in the SEC by 2016.
Well that was resolved quickly.
Wait, until ND came along, our entire non-conference schedule was at home?
Happens occasionally, last time we had 4 real non-conference home games was 2006, when we hosted Northeastern, Cincinnati, Southern Miss and Kent State.
If you count games in Landover as home games (which I don't), then we did it in 2010 too: vs. Boise, and hosted JMU, ECU and Central Michigan.
Everyone should make this road trip if they can. I've been to South Bend 3 times for ND football, and I have enjoyed every trip. It has a very different feel compared to other football trips I have made (fans not quite as hardcore, it's in northern Indiana), but the tradition is there and the campus is beautiful. The fans I have met there are not the entitled bunch that we think they are, though that could be because I hang out with down to earth folks.
Anywho, I'll definitely be there and I hope Hokie Nation has a big presence.
How pricey are tickets typically in South Bend?
Should be a fun stretch of Tech football coming up. I'm going to Atlanta for the Bama game (obviously), I plan on going to the OSU game in Columbus and now I'll try to make the trip up to ND. And after that I can go to Wisconsin. Should be really fun, good scheduling.
Meh. ND is soooo 20th century
Being from Norfolk, I have been waiting for the ODU game for a while. Guess I can wait another year to play ND.
