An annual football matchup with Notre Dame ended in 2014, but new Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel is willing to discuss restarting the rivalry.
According to ESPN's Dan Murphy, Manuel said he's open to bringing back a clash that is great for the sport:
Michigan AD Warde Manuel says he open to talking about scheduling football with Notre Dame soon. Calls the rivalry good for college football

Manuel's comment is encouraging and brings back memories of spectacular games, but fans of either university or the rivalry itself should temper the excitement.
