Days After Jim Harbaugh’s Historic Feat, Michigan Wolverines Sets a Record of Its Own

Michigan Wolverines is one of the biggest varsity teams in the Nation, with their fanbase growing with each game they win. With their undefeated record of 13-0, they have made their way into the playoffs. As the team gets ready to face the SEC Champions Alabama Crimson Tide on 2nd January for the Rose Bowl, they have some good news which will serve as the inspiring boost they are looking for before competing in what is considered one of the toughest tests of the season so far.

“Go Blue!” has been echoing a lot lately in every stadium the Wolverines play. Even WWE legend Ric Flair can hardly contain himself when it comes to cheering “Go Blue!” at the top of his lungs for the Wolverines. All this, despite the sign-stealing fiasco. Hence, Jim Harbaugh deserves to be complimented for building a tough team.

Michigan University’s GSR rates

On Wednesday, the NCAA released its annual GSR and Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) reports for all NCAA Division I institutions. Michigan tied its school record for Graduation Success Rate (GSR) with 96% being its average 4-year GSR rate. The numbers were the same in their last report as well, their all-time record high, which the university excelled in keeping constant.

The 96% mark is a milestone in Michigan University’s progress throughout the years. In 2010, it was 81%, whereas in 2021, it was 95%. Among the Big Ten Conference institutions, Michigan ranked second with a GSR of  96% and a FGR of 83 scores, behind Northwestern University, which topped the chart. All these numbers are also credited to the diverse varsity programs of Michigan University, right from basketball, golf, gymnastics, and more, along with arguably the most popular one, football.
