Championships
The University of Michigan is one of only two schools (University of Minnesota) in NCAA history to win at least one national championship in all four of these sports:
baseball (2),
basketball (men's - 1),
football (11), and
ice hockey (men's - 9). The Wolverines have won NCAA Division I national championships in women's field hockey (1), men's golf (2), men's gymnastics (3), women's softball (2), men's swimming and diving (11), men's tennis (1), and men's outdoor track and field (1).
Overall, UM's 32 official NCAA Division I titles ranks tenth all-time, trailing only
UCLA,
Stanford University,
USC,
Oklahoma State,
Arkansas,
LSU,
Texas,
Penn State, and
UNC. In NCAA D1 men's sports only, UM ranks sixth all-time in championships behind USC, UCLA, Stanford, Oklahoma State, and Arkansas. UM's official NCAA Division I national championships have come from ten different sports — this broad-based success matches the
University of Texas for fourth place in the NCAA record book. Only UCLA and Stanford, each with titles in 16 varying sports, and USC in 15, have more diverse championship histories than the Wolverines.
The Wolverines' 32 official NCAA D1 titles are complemented by seven unofficial NCAA men's swimming and diving championships from 1927 through 1936, when no team championships were awarded; by men's trampoline NCAA titles in 1969 and 1970; and, by 11 unofficial NCAA/NCAA Division I football "consensus" championships recognized by the university, for a total of 52 national championships. In four additional seasons national number one rankings by at least one recognized authority were given to the UM football team.
University of Michigan teams have also been national runners-up an incredible 39 times in 13 different sports: men's basketball (4), women's cross country (1), women's field hockey (1), men's golf (4), men's gymnastics (2), women's gymnastics (2), men's ice hockey (2), women's rowing (1), women's synchronized swimming (2 in
AIAW), men's swimming and diving (13), women's swimming and diving (1), men's outdoor track and field (1), and wrestling (5).

The best-supported of the Michigan varsity teams is the
football team. Michigan's football program is among the most successful in college football history. Michigan won the first
Rose Bowl game in 1902, has won an
NCAA-record 872 games and has an
all-time winning percentage of .740, also an NCAA record. The Wolverine football program has claimed 11 national titles.
[5]
Michigan's 11 National Championships have come under the direction of 5 coaches. Six of Michigan's National Titles were garnered by the wolverines first coaching superstar Fielding H. Yost. Yost directed his point a minute teams to 4 consecutive National titles from 1901-1904 while going 41-0-1. Yost also led Michigan to National titles in 1918 and 1923. It was Yost who made the Big House with the ability to expand to a capacity of while over 100,000. Yost's legacy also lives on with Yost Ice Arena where Michigan's Men's Ice Hockey team plays their home games. Michigan has put up 5 more National Titles since Yost permanently retired in 1926. The Wolverines won back-to-back titles under Harry Kipke in 1932-1933, and first Fritz Chrysler, then his successor Bennie Oosterbaan, in 1947-1948. Most recently, Michigan won its latest National Title behind Lloyd Carr in 1997.
Michigan's famous football coaches include: Fielding Yost, who came to Michigan from Kansas in 1901 (see above). Fritz Crisler, who guided Michigan to a pair of Big Ten Titles and the above National Title and still has his name carried by the home of Michigan's Men's Basketball team. Glenn E. "Bo" Schembechler who won 13 Big Ten Titles in his 21 seasons as Head Coach. Those titles include 1969 when he beat good friend and mentor Wayne "Woody" Hayes 24-12 in the beginning of "The ten year war". Lloyd Carr, won 5 Big Ten titles in his 13 seasons as the leader of Michigan Football and posted a winning percentage of .753. His winning percentage of .779 in Conference play trails only Bo Schembecher in Michigan history. (That includes Fritz Crisler and Fielding Yost) Their current coach is
Rich Rodriguez, who was hired after former head coach
Lloyd Carr announced his retirement on
November 19,
2007.
Michigan Stadium is the largest football-only stadium in the world, with an official capacity of 107,501, and with attendance regularly exceeding 110,000. The NCAA single-game attendance record is 112,118 at the 2003 contest with Ohio State. The capacity, after each expansion, has always been listed as "-01", with the "extra seat" being in honor of Fritz Crisler. The University of Michigan Board of Regents has approved an expansion project for the stadium widely known as the “Big House”. Construction began in 2007 and is scheduled to be completed prior to the 2010 season. The expansion project will accommodate home games for the 2007-2009 seasons. The plan is to build a new press box, add luxury boxes, widen aisles and seats, and increase capacity to over 108,000. Michigan Stadium has witnessed over 200 consecutive crowds of greater than 100,000 - a streak that dates back to 1975.

Michigan has a
major rivalry with
Ohio State, considered one of the fiercest rivalries in American sports. In a pair of
ESPN fan polls, in 2000 and 2003, the Michigan-Ohio State series was voted the greatest rivalry in sports in America.
[6] Michigan's meeting with Ohio State is almost always the last game of the two schools' regular seasons and has provided many memorable contests, such as the "
Snow Bowl" of 1950. The game has frequently decided the Big Ten champion. Michigan leads the series 57-41-6. The contest on November 18, 2006 marked the first time ever these teams had been ranked #1 and #2 going into the game, and the first time they were both undefeated since 1973. The 2007 college football match-up between Ohio State and Michigan was predicted to be the #2 college football game to watch in 2007 by SI.com's "Top 20 Games To Watch In 2007" list.
[7]
Michigan has an intrastate rival in
Michigan State; the schools' football teams compete for the
Paul Bunyan Trophy. Michigan leads the series 67–28–5.
Michigan also enjoys a spirited rivalry with the Fighting Irish of
Notre Dame. Michigan leads the series 20–15–1. The two schools are among the top college football programs in all-time wins (Michigan first, Notre Dame third) and winning percentage (Michigan first, Notre Dame second) in the Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division 1-A), so it is perhaps fitting that when college football was in its infancy, students from the University of Michigan traveled to South Bend to teach the game to students there.
The Wolverines also have a tradition-rich history with the
University of Minnesota. The two football teams compete for the
Little Brown Jug, a five-gallon jug with the respective schools' "M" on either side and the scores of previous games down the middle. The Little Brown Jug was the first trophy played for between college football teams. Michigan leads the series 69–24–3.
Ice hockey
The Wolverines
ice hockey team, which is a member of the
Central Collegiate Hockey Association, plays its home contests at
Yost Ice Arena. It is coached by
Red Berenson, a former UM player. Altogether, the program has won
nine NCAA national championships (1948, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, 1964, 1996, 1998), which is also an NCAA record. In 2009, the team was invited to the NCAA tournament for a record 19th year in a row. Michigan has reached the national semi-finals (now referred to as the "Frozen Four") an unprecedented 23 times.
Vic Heyliger led Michigan to a record six NCAA titles, including the first one in college hockey history in 1948. Heyliger, who played for the Wolverines from 1935-37, also won national titles as Michigan coach in 1951, 1952, 1953, 1955 and 1956. He was inducted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame in 1974, in recognition of his lifetime achievement.
Heyliger is considered instrumental in getting the NCAA tournament off the ground. Following the 1946–47 season, Heyliger wrote to each of the college coaches around the country to see if they would be interested in creating a national tournament. They obliged and the inaugural four-team NCAA tournament began the following season in 1948.
Heyliger was 228–61–13 as head coach at Michigan, and his .776 winning percentage is the best at the school. His only losing season was his first year, 3–6 in 1944–45.
In 1980, Heyliger was inducted into the University of Michigan Hall of Honor. The Vic Heyliger Trophy has been given out at the end of each season by the Michigan hockey team to recognize its most outstanding defenseman.

During the 1990s, the program became involved in a
scandal involving payments from a booster named Ed Martin to four players: Chris Webber,
Maurice Taylor,
Robert Traylor, and
Louis Bullock. The scandal ultimately resulted in four years' probation and a self-imposed ban from postseason play in the 2002-03 season. UM also voluntarily forfeited regular season games and "vacated" NCAA tournament games from selected past seasons. Vacating the results of 114 games won while the four players were eligible, including the 1992 and 1993 Final Fours, the entire 1992–93 season, and all seasons from fall 1995 through spring 1999. Since the scandal Michigan basketball has posted a 144–131 record and did not make the tournament until 2009.
[8] In April 2007, the university announced that its new head coach will be
John Beilein. In
2009, The Wolverines made the
