I've been on record since January 2014: Neutral site games are the antithesis of college football.
Jim Hackett, Michigan's Interim AD who is actually good, apparently agrees.
From Nick Baumgardner of MLive.com:
But don't expect any more, as interim athletic director Jim Hackett says he's not a fan of giving up home games at Michigan Stadium for one-off contests somewhere else.
"You can't believe the people knocking on (our) door for (neutral site opportunities) right now because of Jim Harbaugh," Hackett said this week. "And they're not really good ideas for us."
[...]
Hackett says interest from organizers of these events -- which become more frequent each year -- has certainly increased since the Harbaugh hire, with one proposal giving Michigan the chance to play in front of 160,000 people at a venue Hackett wouldn't name.
He says he declined.
160,000 people? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY FREE COKES THAT IS? (Given past free Coke/Wolverine ticket ratios, it's 160,000 free cokes.)
I have zero clue as to what venue could hold that many people and still be interested in Michigan football. Perhaps some arena on whatever planet Jim Harbaugh is from?
