I wonder if Bailey was going to change his plans and come to MU in the fall, thus the Utah rumor. Then, maybe things changed and the Utah thing is going to be put off for a couple of years.

The news of losing Utah is disappointing after be happy about adding Georgia. Was looking forward to having Utah and Georgia in the Bradley Center in 17-18.
The talk may have been MU vs Utah in 2018 & 2019 all along, but whoever got wind of it reported that they were working on a home and home.
We will have to wait a couple of years to see.
Couple of updates
Home opener is Monday, November 14th
Wisconsin is the 2nd Saturday in December 10th.
Big East opener, December 28th. Sounds like a home game.
Jumping ahead to the 2018-2019 season when the new arena opens, I'd like to see the first home game in the arena be Wisconsin, since it is using some taxpayer funds and if not UW, Notre Dame would be a nice surprise.
Duke.
I am really hoping for Grambling State...
UW will sell out anyway so they will probably want a different opponent as the first game to get another full house.
The problem is.....how many top programs are willing to open the season on the road against a high major program?
Usually they want to ease their way into those kind of games by playing a few buy games first.
