[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are plenty of U of Mich boosters in Mich; the point is it’s generally not due to academic prestige. They like the sports, they like the sweatshirts, they put bumper stickers on their cars, & some even attend. A lot of alumni & some people from certain Detroit suburbs are totally aware of the prestige the university carries. But they are a fraction of the people wearing MICHIGAN tee shirts to the gym. Most of those in maize & blue clothing are the so-called “Wal-Mart Wolverines”: they like the sports, get their off-brand Michigan gear at big box stores, probably never set foot in An Arbor, & never heard of the USNews rankings.

How on earth would you know what people who wear UMich tee shirts actually attended the school? Also it is a huge school, with an active alumni network and largest
endowment of any public school - so decent chance many of the people who wear U Mich merch either attended there or have kids/ grandkids who did. ….

Also the post grad research ops at U Nich are incredible. They are not just about sports but have free museums with world class visual art and performing arts. So I doubt all the fans are limited to football. [/quote]
