--home and away. The contract Swarbrick signed stipulated ACC officials at ND and Big 10 officials at Michigan.

Prepare and play well enough, and this won't matter.

We had ACC at UM and B1G at ND for a few years there

I think starting in 2011, the series switched to having the visiting team provide the officials. It may have been the first time B1G refs weren't working a Michigan home game.

Apparently UM wanted to double up on the possibility of screwing us with this last contract and probably gave us our preference of dates (the first home game of the two-game set and a late-October visit to UM, generally a B1G no-no for out of conference games) in exchange.
