Hustle Belt Morning Dump: Rivalries renewed and revered

If you haven't heard by now, Michigan and Notre Dame will resume their football rivalry soon.

This is an amazing day, and one that should never have happened; for whatever reason, Michigan balked at scheduling Notre Dame in their future schedules past 2014, forcing the rivalry to go on a hiatus. Part of it probably had to do with Notre Dame striking their current deal with the ACC to provide a partial schedule boost in 2013.

But anyway, it's back on, and that's great. College football thrives off of its rivalries, both in and out of conference.
