Does the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry still matter in the changing times of college football?

The Sports and Society Initiative and School of Communication will gather some of college football's foremost experts to answer that question in a special forum that is part of The Lantern-Michigan Daily Rivalry edition. The question centers around how Ohio State lost to its arch rival but still won a national championship, and how the playoff system now challenges rivalries as the high point of a season.  

Join us in person at WOSU's Ross Community Theater with guests that will include:

  • Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork
  • Ohio State running back Chris "Beanie" Wells
  • Ohio State linebacker Zach Boren
  • Rob Oller, Columbus Dispatch
  • Dan Hope, Eleven Warriors

The event will also be available as a live stream at the Sports and Society website!

Refreshments will be served. Register today!
