Michigan 1 of just 3 Division I programs to accomplish impressive feat in 2021-22
Published:
Not many Division I schools accomplished what Michigan did during the 2021-22 athletic calendar. In fact, just two other programs can say they achieved the same impressive goal.
After defeating Iowa and Rutgers on Sunday, Michigan claimed the B1G Baseball Tournament championship, securing a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Wolverines were one of just three teams to win their conference championship in both football and baseball.
The other two? Kennesaw State and Louisiana. Michigan is the only Power 5 program to accomplish the goal. Louisiana’s football program competes at the G5 level while Kennesaw State plays in the FCS.
