Yeah, it would be the University of Michigan. It should include it. It felt like the title was missing something, like “Michigan man”, but as a sports fan I was able it figure it out by the name of the coach. Should definitely include the full name. UMich would have been a least a little better as that is often used as an abbreviation.

It isn't just sports but college sports, which seems to be a uniquely American kind of sports.

Universities created collegiate sports as a way to help colleges teach leadership skills. The competition between universities in sports became a measure of which to judge universities and later became a source of profit for universities. The NCAA regulates most of the colleges in the US.

If you see a state name when referring to sports, it is likely referring to a university with a name "University of State". There are no state based games and professional sports in North America usually refers to a team by their name.

They’ll just have to go to one of the other 500 schools in the country :(

Fortunately it has never been easier to transfer to another school that doesn’t have sanctions. Maybe thier better players can transfer to Ohio State.
