Additionally, Detroit Mercy ended its football rpgoram after the 1964 season. Based on win percentage (.467), Detroit Mercy would fall between Adrian and Wayne State on the above list.

Answer 2

Michigan fans believe the maize and blue are true winners. The stadium is always packed for home games and traffic that jams freeways hours before and directly following games. Rumor has it, Michigan has some of the best tailgating parties ever.

Division I has two subdivisions for football.

In Michigan, there are no Division I-FCS programs.

There are two Division I programs that do not sponsor football teams (Oakland University and the University of Detroit Mercy)

There are five Division I-FBS programs.

Michigan (Big Ten)

Michigan State (Big Ten)

Western Michigan (MAC)

Eastern Michigan (MAC)
