The Michigan battle continues

February 12, 2013

The Michigan battle continues

While the Michigan men’s basketball team takes on Michigan State in East Lansing, Mich. tonight, the Heritage Project website details how U-M's initial rivalry with Michigan State originated out of a battle—intellectual as well as political—over the future of the state's economy. In the end, all students were the winners.
