The Michigan Wolverines compete in NCAA Men’s Basketball as a part of the <a href="https://bigten.org/standings.aspx?path=mbball">Big Ten Conference</a>. Some notable opponents from the conference include Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan State. They were founded in 1909.

Their nickname originates from Michigan being called the Wolverine state. There are multiple <a href="http://geo.msu.edu/extra/geogmich/wolves.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">theories</a> surrounding why they got that name. Some believe it was the native Indians who called them wolverines as an insult, when the people of Michigan took over their land. Yet others believe it was the Ohioans who gave them this nickname following their dispute in the 1830s.

Their <a href="https://1000logos.net/michigan-wolverines-logo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">logo</a> is a simple yellow letter M. The wolverine appeared on their logo until 1987, when it was changed to the letter M with a banner that said Michigan. In 2012, this banner was dropped in an attempt to go minimalistic.
