The Pirates' Sept. 16 clash against Virginia Tech will begin at 3:30 p.m. and carried nationally on CBS Sports Network.

Additionally, a kickoff time of 12 noon has been established for ECU's first road game of the season at West Virginia on Sept. 9 to accommodate a live Fox Sports 2 (FS2) broadcast.
