Michigan AD: Night football game unlikely in 2012
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon says the school isn't likely to set up another night football game at home next season.
The Wolverines beat Notre Dame in a thrilling game under the lights last season in the first primetime game at Michigan Stadium. But Brandon says it's "getting pretty late in the game" to schedule a night game for 2012.
Brandon wants the right matchup and right time of year for a night game. The Notre Dame game was in September, but the Fighting Irish don't come to Ann Arbor next season.
Michigan's home games next season are against Air Force, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan State, Northwestern and Iowa.
Brandon did say there is a better chance of a night game again in 2013.
