College football rivalries seek to return to permanent scheduling

The upcoming college football season, starting in two weeks, has reignited discussions about historic rivalries such as Nebraska-Oklahoma, Pitt-West Virginia, and Notre Dame-Michigan. Each program has a rich history within these matchups, with Nebraska and Oklahoma last facing off in a notable revival in 2021-2022, though their next meeting isn't until 2029-2030. The Backyard Brawl between Pitt and West Virginia revived in 2022 after a decade-long hiatus, while Notre Dame and Michigan last played in 2019, with their next scheduled meetings in 2033 and 2034. Advocates for these rivalries argue that they should be reinstated as regular fixtures on the college football calendar.
