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 with guests that will include:

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

Refreshments will be served. Register today!
