Is the Michigan-Notre Dame football rivalry getting a reboot?

"When I played here and for many, many years it was a great rivalry. If there's opportunities in the future to bring the rivalry on the football field back, obviously I'd be open to having that conversation and discussion.

"I think it's not only great for Michigan and Notre Dame football. I think it's great for college football for that rivalry to continue at some point in the future. So we'll see where that goes."

The schools have played 42 times dating back to 1887, with Michigan leading the series, 24-17-1. They played every year from 2002-14.

"I don't know. I've been involved in scheduling football for almost two decades now and you can always try to find ways to put things together. I don't know when the timeline would be, but I'm not worried that we're out (of it) significantly with games. Because even some of the things on the schedule right now, (we're) already having conversations to adjust (things) based on other opportunities they have or we have.

"You're putting those games in place, but they can always be adjusted."
