Plenty of Scheduling "Noise" for Notre Dame
Word broke in the last 24 hours that Notre Dame and Michigan would renew their rivalry as early as 2018. It's being reported that Michigan would "buy-out" their contract with Arkansas to make this happen.
Still awaiting confirmation from Notre Dame that this is a done deal.
Also, the folks at Texas Christian University think they may also have a football game scheduled with the Fighting Irish in the very near future...
