Michigan football’s proposed trip overseas to open the 2026 season has been a hot topic in recent days.
And while the program says the deal to move the scheduled game against Western Michigan to Frankfurt, Germany, is not done yet, it’s in “advanced discussions,” suggesting an announcement could come soon.
The news drew ire on social media, with some fans upset over the idea of moving a home game — against an in-state school, no less — outside of the country. On the latest episode of MLive’s “Wolverine Confidential,” co-hosts Ryan Zuke and Aaron McMann discuss the proposal and the financial ramifications of a move like this in an era where athletic departments are tightening their belts.
The guys open the show with plenty of Big Ten Media Days talk, including head coach Sherrone Moore’s comments about the Michigan QB situation, waiting on the NCAA penalty and more with his 2025 team.
The Wolverines also made a late-hour addition to the roster before the start of training camp. We discuss who, why and what it means for special teams.
