I’m guessing they mean the school? But the word University never appears in the article. I know nothing about sports, so this is all extremely confusing to me.
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.
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.
Michigan who? The state? The school? The team?

I have never seen “UMich” before. And I follow college football.
Thats wild! I have seen it all my life but I also grew up in michigan.
I think it’s kind of like here in Arkansas we see “UofA” a lot. But I don’t think I’ve heard anyone else call us that.
That is strange. First thought was “why are you bringing up the University of Alabama”. :)
Could be a Big10 thing. I am from/in Illinois.
Jim is pulling a “Pete Carroll”. Get out while the gettin’ is good.
