The Utes cleared the way for Michigan by buying their way out of their planned road trip to Utah State for $500,000.
The Utes, who play in Logan on Sept. 7, likely won’t make any return trips to Utah State, Hill said.
"It’s hard to predict; it may happen one year, but I don’t think so," he said when asked about possible future road trips to the Cache Valley.
The Utes have agreed to a four-game series with the Aggies in basketball, with Utah hosting the Aggies in 2014 and 2016 and playing in Logan in 2015 and 2017.
Hill also expects Utah’s basketball rivalry to continue with BYU.
