Bill Martin on Scheduling
From the Free Press.
Obviously, Appalachian State (HOT HOT HOT L.O.L.!!!!!) was not the first choice for Michigan, fact which was readily apparent to everyone except Brent Musburger's "bloggers" (i.e. bitchy internet people).
The far more interesting tidbits from that article are the not-so-subtle hints about future series (including away games) with Rutgers, Stanford, and a (slightly-less-obvious-to-discern-which)
team in Texas. Martin raises these "areas" in which he wants to play away games under the guise of playing close to large alumni bases (a laudable goal in and of itself), but it's also quite clear that they would be huge for exposure and recruiting.
