Michigan and Notre Dame met on the basketball court last weekend and will meet on the ice Friday night. The possibility of the old rivals again clashing on a football field might be getting closer to a reality as well.
New Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said he would be open to discussing future matchups with the Irish in football. The two college football blue bloods ended their annual series in 2014 with an unfriendly parting of ways.
"If there are opportunities in the future to bring the rivalry on the football field back, obviously I'd be open to having that conversation," said Manuel, who officially took over Michigan's athletic department less than two weeks ago.
