UMass and Bowling Green to come to the Big House in 2010


Michigan is one opponent away from finalizing it's 2010 football schedule. Michigan announced on Thursday that UMass (September 18th) and Bowling Green (September 25th) will fill two out of the three non-conference home games in 2010.

"We appreciate the efforts made by both UMass and Bowling Green to accept one-year contracts to play at The Big House," Athletic Director Bill Martin said in a statement issued by U-M. "The scheduling landscape is becoming more difficult and we discussed the open dates with a number of institutions and want to thank them for their time and effort during this process."

So who will open the New Big House? "We are working hard to line up an opponent for the opening game in renovated Michigan Stadium," Martin said. "We hope to have an announcement in the near future."

Why not invite IVY League schools like YALE, CORNELL, BROWN or even HARVARD to the Big House for 2010. Didn't Michigan play some of those schools in the beginning of their storied history?.
