Two More Decades of Notre Dame and Michigan

The University of Notre Dame and the University of Michigan have agreed to a contract that will insure that the two programs get to play each other every year during the regular season until the year 2031. The Wolverines and the Irish are the two most storied college football programs, as they are the all-time winning percentage leaders (Michigan is .745 and Notre Dame is .744). Everybody seems to be happy that these two rivals will be able to continue a regular feud that is one of the best in sports. Said Notre Dame athletic director Kevin White, “The Notre Dame-Michigan game has been a red-letter date on the football schedule for a long time, so it made perfect sense to make certain the rivalry continues annually long into the future.”

Of course by 2031 most sports will be played in a different reality, mostly generated on palm-sized computers, or within our minds, each one tailored to our own personal algorithms in order to get the most out of the rivalry. Or it will take place in space… but it might be because we are all in space. Either way, it is good news to everybody who would like to get to see a great rivalry game in the distant future.
