Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 354545, member: 19"] The Michigan rivalry has taken 2 years off a couple times in recent history ('95, '96, '00, '01). ND football survived, so I think their fans would get over it if Michigan wasn't annual. That's the toughest one. I can't imagine people there would get overly worked up about Purdue or Michigan State if replaced with ACC teams. Local fans might hate losing the quick trip, but national fans would embrace, and like locusts, they seem to be everywhere. Can't wait to see the results of the cost/benefit analysis of what the renegotiation with NBC (or anyone else that steps up to compete) will bring. [/QUOTE]
