ABSTRACT

Saginaw Valley State University (SVSU) is located in the heart of the TriCities of Saginaw, Midland, and Bay City in mid-Michigan about 90 miles north of Detroit.

Not as famous as the Big Ten football powerhouse, the University of Michigan, 90 miles to the east, SVSU is proud of its football team, a member of NCAA Division II, which had six playoff appearances in a 10-year period and had five players go to the NFL in 2008.
