UM/ND 2018/2019 Contract Details
In the tradition of scooping WD, MLive is reporting the details of Michigan's new agreement with ND.
Among other interesting bits, it is confirmed that we are away in September 2018 and home in October 2019.
Cue the apocalypse. Commence the weeping and gnashing of teeth. We are away to ND, MSU, and OSU in 2018 and home to all three in 2019.
will be evenly appreciated? works for me.
Honest question, which one would be more satisfying?

2019 because the big wins would happen here. I wouldn't care which was perceived as harder or how we would have to answer questions about an easy schedule -- that all gets ironed out int he playoff.
It does not matter where the games are played. Just win.

Longer than 100yards?
That alone is a disadvantage.
since a repeat championship and third title in four years will feel pretty damn good.
What happened in 2017 to prevent a four peat?
I didn't want to seem greedy
you have my permission!
Or something similar? Please advice.
How is what we already knew from both schools is in fact the case interesting at all?
I don't care about how important getting ND was on the schedule. How does Manuel let them take the home game in 2018, knowing we're already away at OSU and MSU?
Sorry, I just don't get it.
Just think - the next year we will have all three at home and you will be happy.

You mean if ND doesn't cancel first and instead of H&H vs Arkansas we get at ND only
Better get Miami (NTM) on standby. Ready for some MACtion?

Money issue man. It was probably more about the total # of home games each year than WHO we played at home.
My guess

Bullshit. 2019 better pay off

Or maybe Manuel knows the conference will be realigned before then?

Distinct possibility. He would know before anyone of us would know.
I must express my internet rage.
That's fantastic.
that I've never seen this before.
Thank you so much!
not sure you understand the meaning of the term "scoop" considering everyone has known this information for weeks.
Man walks on the moon.
"We landed on the moon!"
1. Michigan will have to kick off at the start of both half's
2. Notre Dame will only be required to gain 7 yards for a first down
3. If Notre Dame doesnt gain 7 yards in four downs they can elect one of their two "bonus downs" each quarter to use as they see fit
4. Michigan will be required to play with 8 players
5. The officating crew will be the first "all Catholic priests" team to work together on one game
6. Notre Dame will keep 100% of the gate receipts for the game in Notre Dame
7. Notre Dame will also keep 100% of the gate receipts for the game in Ann Arbor
8. The game will be considered over if Notre Dame is ahead at any point in the fourth quarter
But hey....THEY ARE BACK ON THE SCHEDULE AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!!!!!!!

A bit of an over reaction. Bold caps at the end? Is that really necessary?

So, in 2020, our road schedule that year would include Washington, ND, MSU, and OSU.
They aren't on for 2020 yet, but let's be real. Manuel is gonna cancel both va tech and washington for eastern and nd
that's not funny
As I said earlier, Harbaugh had to give this stamp of approval on this. He did. And he said he doesn't care
where the games are played. He even said it increases ball size. Guess we all gotta move on. On the positive side, 2019 will be nice. For those of you who want your razors back, join the Dollar Shave Club.
No! (from someone living in Cincinnati working for a large CPG company)
I don't like this...paying $2M penalty to Arkansas is NUTS! And who in their right mind would agree to that sort of penalty 2 years out? Not to mention I'd welcome seeing Bielama "we gotta play each other" get an grade A B1G Jim Harbaugh cruel beatdown.
Secondly this is short of details. How much will each school NET from the broadcast rights (not including stadium revenue for the host team). My problem with ND (besides their cheap spray painted helmets) is that, in the past, they didn't have to share revenue. If we net, say, $1M for the game and ND nets $2M...this is some serious bullshit. If they were at least part of a conference then it'd be a little easier to swallow.
You know they don't have spray painted helmets anymore right? The new gold actually looks pretty sweet. Still doesn't match the pants though!

Only $1 million to back out with a 1-year notice? What's to keep ND from hosting us is South Bend and then cancelling the return trip?
ND can back out of it if they have to play more then 5 ACC games in one year. So they could be working on scheduling more ACC games for 2019, play us at home in 2018 and then back out of the contract at no cost. Pretty smart move by them if you ask me and I wouldn't put it past them to do that.
Nope we keep getting bent over by that school and yet everyone wants to keep running back to play them like some scorned chick on prom night.
we are going to beat them in 2018 anyways. Get over it
It's such a mind blowing imbecilic move from Michigan, i bet that Manuel had a 5 year old read over the contract before he signed it
Yup, that is what he did, had a 5-year-old read over it...

I also heard that Warde also wants to go back to using genuine leather helmets for this game.

Everyone says 2018 will be Harbaugh's best class. Yeah, up to that point. 2019 is when this past years class are in their 4th year with a ton of talent beneath them I'm sure. You are looking at the likes of Ohio and Bama but the kids are actually intelligent talent and have better coaches. Nothing against the other teams kids but I'm just saying. You guys all know it. Hope Gary is still playing that year though!
Gary will be gone after 2018 for sure!
So basically, every other year the schedule will suck balls.
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
Or you could say every other year will be phenomenal...half-full/half-empty kind of deal.
Just win.
stop bitching about details. we will win all the games
this kind of attitude is what leads to "gentlemen's agreements" that get us screwed repeatedly. Because by "games" i hope you realize you mean "game" after ND cancels our home game again!
