Well, it wasn’t perhaps announced as much as it was revealed.
Michigan football remained undefeated after beating Nebraska, 34-3, on Saturday, but ranked Illinois didn’t hold up its end of the bargain, falling for the second straight game. While there was no danger of it being a night game, if it had been a bigger matchup, it certainly could have been a second-straight 3:30 p.m. kickoff.
However, the Week 12 game and Michigan Stadium season finale will kick off at noon EST while being nationally broadcast on ABC — just as this past game was for the Wolverines.
The details were revealed on MGoBlue.com.
Michigan vs. Illinois next weekend: Noon on ABC

While Michigan will certainly be favored, it will be a difficult contest, especially with a showdown with rival Ohio State up next.
Michigan is 10-0 while Illinois is 7-3.
