5 Potential Trap Games on Michigan Football's 2025 Schedule
5 Potential Trap Games on Michigan Football's 2025 Schedule originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Expectations are high for the Michigan Wolverines heading into their 2025 season coming off of an 8-5 campaign. Advertisement Late last season, the Wolverines defeated Ohio State and Alabama in back-to-back weeks, scoring wins over the eventual national champions and one of the SEC's top teams in the ReliaQuest Bowl. The Wolverines' 2025 schedule includes a mix of big name opponents and lesser known foes with coach Sherrone Moore's team expected to compete for a spot in the upper echelon of the Big Ten Conference. The Wolverines will kick it all off with a game against the New Mexico Lobos on August 30 in Ann Arbor followed by a road trip to Oklahoma that could set the tone for the rest of a season littered with potential trap games.

At Nebraska (Sep. 20)- Michigan holds a 6-4 all-time record against the Cornhuskers, with whom they split the 1997 National Championship. The Wolverines have won four straight in the series meaning coach Matt Rhule's Cornhuskers will almost certainly have the September 20 game in Lincoln circled on the calendar. 4. Vs. Wisconsin (Oct. 4)- The Badgers have become an afterthought in the Big Ten under Luke Fickell but they still play physical, focused football which could become a problem for a young Michigan offense. Michigan will have to match the Badgers' intensity and take care of the football to win this game, especially with freshman QB Bryce Underwood expected to start against a physical and savvy opponent. Advertisement 4. At USC (Oct. 11)- The Trojans had Michigan against the ropes last season before Kalel Mullings ran wild and the Wolverines pulled out a thrilling 27-24 home victory. Traveling to Los Angeles is never easy for a Big Ten team and the Trojans will have revenge on their minds. 3. At Michigan State (Oct. 25)- Strange things happen around Halloween which is part of the reason why it's hard to count the Spartans out in this annual rivalry game. Michigan State quarterback Aidan Chiles has the talent to be one of the better quarterbacks in the Big Ten. Don't be surprised if Chiles takes the presence of Underwood as a challenge and steps up his game this season, both against the Wolverines and other Big Ten teams. Advertisement 2. At Northwestern (Nov. 15)- The Wildcats were embarrassed at the Big House last season and now have a chance to exact revenge in what could be a program-shifting game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Northwestern game comes just before a road trip to Maryland and a home matchup with Ohio State giving it all the elements of a potential trap game. 1. At Maryland (Nov. 22)- Michigan has not lost to the Terrapins since 2014 but Mike Locksley's group has come close to beating the Wolverines several times. The Terps gave Michigan's 2023-24 National Championship team one of its toughest tests of the season suggesting that the 2025 game could go either way if the Wolverines aren't healthy and prepared to play one of their better games of the season in College Park.

NCAA's House settlement era begins, shaking up college athletics as some schools opt out
The NCAA's House settlement era launched on Tuesday, with athletic programs across the country free to start paying millions to their athletes in the biggest change in the history of college athletics. It's the death of the NCAA's longstanding amateur model, certain to cause headaches and disputes among powerhouse and small-time programs alike. Scattered among them, however, is a handful of schools that have decided to wait it out at least a year to see how things develop, including legal risks and Title IX concerns. Advertisement Call them the opt-outs. The Ivy League removed itself from the conversation early, saying in January its schools — which do not award athletic scholarships — will not participate. Military rules bar Navy, Air Force, and Army from compensating athletes. But alongside the academies are others choosing to watch the settlement unfold from the sidelines during year one. The deadline for schools to opt out was Monday. There were very few announcements. Among them: Nebraska-Omaha and Montana. 'Although we welcome the approval and intent of the settlement, our mission remains to protect the interests of our current student-athletes while honoring UNO's core values as we transition to a new era,' the university wrote in a statement. Advertisement Omaha cited Title IX compliance as a reason, which according to attorney Mit Winter should be a legitimate concern for universities opting in. 'A lot of people think Title IX doesn't mandate that the rev-share dollars be paid out the same way that athletic scholarships have to be paid out, which is proportional to the male-female student population,' Winter told The Associated Press. 'Most P4 schools, 90 to 95% of their $20.5 million are going to go to male athletes — football and basketball in most cases.' Another noteworthy opt-out is Montana, whose football team consistently competes at a high level. Athletic director Kent Haslam informed multiple outlets of the university's decision. Montana will save revenue-sharing dollars as a result, but opting out could come with a hefty price. Roughly three hours down the road, Montana's arch-rival, Montana State, has opted in. Advertisement 'It makes it much harder to compete in recruiting if schools you're competing against are able to pay their athletes up to $20.5 million and you're not able to pay them anything,' Winter said. 'In my view, Montana State just gave themselves a huge advantage in recruiting over Montana.' Plenty of opt-ins won't even scratch the $20.5 million cap. But regardless of finances, most schools have chosen to partake in the settlement to stay competitive in an evolving college sports landscape. 'There are a lot of schools that feel the obligation to opt in to remain competitive. I do think it offers a bit more structure for some of those larger schools that have been spending a lot of time trying to build a collective and raise money so that they could keep their best athletes. And then there are other schools that just aren't in the same category. From a dollars and cents perspective, it just doesn't make sense across the board,' attorney Michael Rueda said. With limited resources and difficulties adapting to name, image and likeness ventures, Rueda explained that smaller schools face significant challenges against deep-pocketed universities. Advertisement 'I would envision that a lot of those schools can't even fathom how to make this jump yet,' Rueda said. 'They were struggling even before this trying to understand how institutional NIL worked. They probably were just coming to terms with how some of that stuff might have been feasible for them, and now you're completely changing the game, and so, they have to get up to speed and figure out what this looks like for a school of that size with limited resources, budget staff and all that.' ___ AP sports writer Eddie Pells contributed to this report. ___ AP college sports:
