Michigan will host the Utes in 2014 and travel to SLC in 2015: http://utahutes.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/062712aaa.html

Also, Colorado will be headed to Ann Arbor in 2016: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/40543/utah-colorado-announce-games-with-michigan
Getting that Pac 12-B1G thing started early it seems.

Two year break in the Notre Dame/Michigan series was announced today. They won't play in 2018 or 2019 but intend to resume in 2020. That probably depends on whether Notre Dame joins a conference or not.

This has been Michigan's AD's intent since the Pac 12 thing was announced.gorocks99;1213057 wrote:Also, Colorado will be headed to Ann Arbor in 2016: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/40543/utah-colorado-announce-games-with-michigan

Also interesting is that Michigan's trip to Utah is a Thursday season opener game.

That's been known since they renewed the deal a few years ago. I think it's a good thing.karen lotz;1213264 wrote:Two year break in the Notre Dame/Michigan series was announced today.

Why ND doesn't get another school to come with it to the Big 10 is beyond me. I don't care if it's Iowa State even, just join the conference you're basically affiliated with already

NBC and their huge tv contract would be pissed.Classyposter58;1213619 wrote:Why ND doesn't get another school to come with it to the Big 10 is beyond me. I don't care if it's Iowa State even, just join the conference you're basically affiliated with already

Independence. Not a TV contract. The NBC deal is a byproduct of being independent.

I always liked it when they scheduled a 2nd (granted 2nd or 3rd tier) BCS school.
1997's OOC was Colorado, Baylor, and ND
I'm ok with having the OOC Schedule being Notre Dame, lower tier BCS, and then 2 MAC schools. Heck, it'd be even better with a 3rd BCS school, but it's nice giving some love/money to the in-state MAC schools.
