Kelly: Irish will be working to get Michigan back on schedule

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said during an interview Wednesday that things are brewing to reunite Michigan and Notre Dame on the football field.

Kelly appeared on Rich Eisen's show and said although he's not privy to whether substantive discussions have occurred between Michigan and Notre Dame, the sentiment is strong to renew the series. Eisen is a Michigan alum.

Michigan and Notre Dame played last season in Notre Dame Stadium, the last meeting for what most described as the foreseeable future. Former Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon said he received a letter from Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick while in South Bend for the game in 2012, indicating the Irish wanted to opt out of the contract after three games.
