What's also blurry are the details of why this rivalry is headed on hiatus, and where it's headed in the future.
It's likely that Michigan and Notre Dame will play again after the final game of this contract in South Bend next year. But it will never be the annual delight entrenched in the early part of the football season that we've grown accustomed to. What will likely emerge is the occasional home-and-home series starting again around 2020. A few years on. A few years off.
While Notre Dame has been vilified for being the instigator of the end of the rivalry, both teams appeared to have contributed significantly.
Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick bristled that money was behind Notre Dame's decision.
"If I wanted to maximize money," he said in a phone conversation earlier this week, "I would keep the Michigan game. On a pure economic basis, it's undoubtedly our most profitable football game. That's not a factor in this."
The reason Notre Dame chose to pause -- not end -- this series is that the contract allowed them to do it immediately. It had nothing to do with Brian Kelly calling this a "regional rivalry" or Brady Hoke saying the Irish were "chickening" out of the series. The contracts with Michigan State and Purdue weren't as easy to wriggle out of, so the Irish dropped Michigan for a few seasons to accommodate its new ACC scheduling agreement, which takes up five games every year. With Notre Dame insisting on playing its traditional rivals -- USC, Stanford and Navy -- some games had to give. Michigan went first, but only because Michigan officials toyed with the contract language a few years ago allowing the teams to pause the deal.
If the Irish are being blamed for killing the series, Michigan set up the execution.
"In essence, the substitution I'm making for the next six years is really Texas for Michigan," Swarbrick said, referencing a four-game series with the Longhorns that starts in 2015. "That has to do with getting us to the Southwest. I've got plenty of Midwest presence. If I say to myself, is Notre Dame at an advantage by being in Texas or Ann Arbor, it's more of an advantage being in Austin."
They'll be grumbling about that at Rick's, Scorekeepers and the Blue Leprechaun for the next decade, as the blurred lines of realignment have cost college football one of its marquee events.
Last call for the near future for the Irish and Wolverines comes in on Sept. 6, 2014.
Before they flip the lights on and send everyone home, expect Notre Dame and Michigan to put on one more show.
