ND and Michigan could also play each other also. That would be a 6th game for both. Each would only have to schedule 6 games then. Of course it's crazy talk because all that would be given up to leave the B1G. A century plus of tradition and rivalries in all sports, the Big Ten Research Consortium/Academic Alliance (or whatever it's called), etc. Plus, the buyout would be insane I imagine. But what gets me nearly as much is the defense of Harbaugh, a coach that frankly has underperformed since he has been there. Sure, they are in a good place now, but if you remember the hype when he was hired, you'd a thought they'd have 3 more nattys by now.
