Coach Heupel was never going to force Joe out but the best outcome for us was to start next season in the bowl game.
I think that will likely be the model going forward for teams that make minor bowls. More akin to a preseason game for the next season.
Besides, Michigan would have to vacate in a few years, anyway.
I wonder if the NCAA will yield that type of power going forward over Big 10/SEC football/basketball.
