ANN ARBOR -- Michigan basketball has a grueling schedule lined up for next season, one that will take it at least 12,300 miles in a three-week span to play the likes of North Carolina, Texas and the field at the Maui Invitational.
There will be some gimmies sprinkled along the gauntlet.
Alabama A&M might represent the ultimate tap-in.
Coming off a 2-27 season, the Bulldogs will play at Michigan at Crisler Center on Thursday, Dec. 21, according to a contract for the game obtained by MLive. U-M will pay Alabama A&M a guarantee of $95,000 for making the trip.
