John Ourand from the Sports Business Journal speculated that with NBC potentially being part of the Big Ten deal that the Michigan - ND series would be brought back sooner due to pressure from the network.
I disagree with this take.
First off, any TV network would love a Michigan - ND game, so to think the AD's from both schools are going to be pressured by an angry Peacock is just silly. One a side note, I don't usually give Ohio State much credit for anything but they finally decided to play ND and will host them to start the season in just a few weeks.
