Additionally, Archivist for Athletics jay winkler will show archival materials directly related to the events discussed. Attendees will view Yost’s contract, Michigan Stadium bonds, and documents created by Michigan football coaches and administrators that show their contributions to Michigan’s legacy. There will also be historical photographs, programs, posters, and more.
