A trip to Michigan's Big House highlights the 2017 University of Cincinnati football schedule, with the American Athletic Conference announcing all teams' schedules Thursday.
UC will visit Michigan and coach Jim Harbaugh in the Bearcats' second game of the season, Sept. 9 in Ann Arbor. It will be the first football meeting between the teams, with UC scheduled to receive a $1.2 million payout for the game. The matchup was announced in 2013 as a one-game contract. As part of the deal UC and Michigan also agreed to schedule a two-game home and home men's basketball series, but Michigan reportedly has backed out of the basketball series.
