Release:

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan Athletic Department announced today (Tuesday, Nov. 6) its complete 2015 and 16 football schedules, adding contests with Brigham Young in 2015 and Hawaii, Miami (Ohio) and Ball State in 2016 to its previously-announced games.

U-M also announced a home-and-home series with Arkansas to open the 2018 and 19 seasons.

Everything save Arkansas is a one-off home game. Schedules affected:

2015

Sept. 3 at Utah

Sept. 12 Oregon State

Sept. 19 UNLV

Sept. 26 BYU

2016

Sept. 3 Hawaii

Sept. 10 Miami (Ohio)

Sept. 17 Colorado

Sept. 24 Ball State

2016 is now officially a replay of this season in terms of the attractiveness of the home schedule. Big Ten home games that year are MSU, Northwestern, Illinois, and Iowa. It's also the worst nonconference schedule since before the ND series resumed. Yuck. On the other hand, 2015 is excellent: decent nonconference games against Oregon State and BYU plus Wisconsin/Nebraska/OSU.

Arkansas as a home and home opponent… eh. Hopefully they'll add something else of interest in those years.

UPDATE: hey that guy predicting an Arkansas series was right.
