I think its the UM Dearborn Wolves.
They are governed by the same regents and are connected in some ways more then others. They compete against each other for state funding, etc. I had season football tickets as a student at UM Dearborn. I was paid by Ann Arbor when I worked for UM Dearborn. I would hardly call it the red headed step child. Yes they are not completely intertwined, which I would say is a good thing.
All of my classes at UM Dearborn were taught by PHDs, usually in class sizes of about 20 people. When I attended MSU my classes were often several hundered people in size and tought by a grad student.
All of Michigans public universities are good schools.
Not sure I am going to this meet or not. I would like to but I have to go out of town and might be leaving that day. Seems like a good one though.
