ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN (TICKER) -- Michigan and Notre Dame will continue their gridiron rivalry for at least another 25 years.
The football powerhouses guaranteed the long-term future of their nationally renowned series Monday, agreeing to a 20-year contract extension. The new deal, which was jointly announced by both schools, will extend the series through the 2031 season. The current contract was set to expire after the 2011 campaign.

"This is great news that Notre Dame and Michigan will be playing for the next 25 years," Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said. "As the head coach of Notre Dame and an alumnus of the University, I'm very glad that Kevin White and Bill Martin have maintained this series. This rivalry is good for both schools and college football."

So I guess Michigan isnt off the schedule after all. ND will have a really tough schedule in a few years when they add OU and Rutgers but I'm glad they're still playing Michigan.

Good news for college football fans :up:
I would have been very disappointed to see that rivalry take even a little time off.
 
Wow that will be a rough Schedule to play the Sonners, Michigan, and USC! However I am still waiting on them to play someone from the SEC. I really enjoyed whatching them play Tenn. (Poor Tenn had a bad couple of years).

Add in Rutgers and Pitt, two teams who could be pretty solid in a few years and it's a tough schedule. ND seems to want to add new teams to help with recruiting, it's why they're playing in Orlando and Texas and talking to Baylor about a series. Maybe some SEC matchups to tap into the southern talent is in the future plans. I read they were talking w/ Florida but tv contracts held things up.
 
sweet! really glad to see ND vs MIchigan will notbe going on hiatus.

in a couple years and i'll be due for another trip to South Bend. would really like to see O.U. visit, but the ticket lottery is what it is, so i will take what i can get.
 
I'm really glad to have this game back. The thought of losing it was saddening.

Rutgers and Pitt I really don't think will be that great of teams in the future. Pitt has a much better chance if they get rid of there head coach



Florida and ND would be huge
