Compared to the 2014 season, Michigan’s 2015 schedule is stacked with quality home games (Oregon State, BYU, Michigan State and Ohio State).
During the halftime of yesterday’s Michigan-MSU basketball game, Interim AD Jim Hackett told MLive.com’s Nick Baumgardner that there’s a chance either the MSU or OSU will be a night game.
“I’ve got to go through the tracks with the regents and the president,” said Hackett, who hopes to announce at least one night game soon. “I don’t know (if it’ll be just one or not). The issue here … they’re fantastic, and you have to face this going down the road when they get to new TV contracts. There’s more prime time (opportunities) in the future.”
Talked to Jim Hackett here. He says Michigan will have at least one night football game* this year. Not ruling out MSU/OSU

Michigan battles with MSU on Oct. 17 and Ohio State will visit Ann Arbor on Nov. 28. The three ‘Night Games’ The Big House has held (2011 & ’13 vs Notre Dame and 2014 vs Penn State) have all been victories for the Wolverines.
