Michigan might have ended up in trouble. If the Jim Harbaugh suspension and sign-stealing accusations weren’t enough, one of their defensive linemen made a controversial move against the Maryland Terrapins. The Michigans are already dominating the field, with their impressive 23-17 walking in the third quarter. However, one bad move is all it takes for the game to turn around. DEFENSIVE TACKLE MASON GRAHAM IS UNDER REVIEW Well, this one from Michigan defensive lineman Mason Graham must be it. After Graham hit roughing-the-passer, he was accused of targeting Maryland’s QB Taulia Tagovailoa. The bad news is: If the review comes out to be in favor of Tua Tagovailoa’s brother, Mason Graham will have to sit out for the first half of the upcoming all-important Ohio State game.

Defying all odds, Michigan players have fought back in each game, giving their opponents a tough challenge. However, if the Wolverines fall short of their defensive tackle, it might affect them in the last, and vital game of the season. Will that cost Michigan their untainted winning streak in the last game of the season? Or will the team manage just fine without Graham? Only time will tell.

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.

Howard is a former Wolverine, who played for the basketball team in the early 1990s. He was drafted by the Washington Bullets in 1994 and went on to play in the NBA for almost two decades. He won two titles during his time with the Miami Heat as a player.
<h2>Who is the Athletic Director of the Wolverines?</h2>

He is also an alumnus like Howard and played three years on the football team. Manuel had stints as an AD at Buffalo and Connecticut before he joined Michigan.
<h2>Achievements and Championships</h2>
The Michigan Wolverines were one of the most successful teams from the 1960s to the 1980s.

Three of their five NCAA tournament finals appearances came in that era, including their only title victory. They also won seven regular-season championships in that time period.

Last season, they tied Kansas for the largest jump in <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2019/12/02/michigan-basketball-top-25-poll/2585912001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AP Poll history</a>, when they went from unranked to #4 within a week.

<h2>Greatest NBA Players</h2>
The <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/friv/colleges.fcgi?college=michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Michigan Wolverines</a> are one of the top colleges when it comes to producing NBA level talent.
