"The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that the Virginia at Virginia Tech football game scheduled for Saturday, November 26, has been canceled," the University of Virginia said in a statement. "The decision was made following communication between the Atlantic Coast Conference, Virginia and Virginia Tech athletic department administration.
"The ACC and Virginia Tech continue to support UVA following the devastating tragedy, which resulted in the deaths of three members of the Cavalier football team – Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry, and injuries to students Mike Hollins (also a Virginia football student-athlete) and Marlee Morgan."

The game was set to be played in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Hollins was discharged from the hospital earlier Monday. He was shot in the back and placed on a ventilator following the incident. He underwent multiple surgeries.
The student athletes were returning from a class trip when authorities say they were killed by a fellow student and former football player, later identified as Christopher Darnell Jones Jr.
A memorial service to honor Chandler, Davis, and Perry was held Saturday on the UVA campus.
