While Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh is busy traveling around the country sporting a different uniform of his favorite players every day, the Ohio State University has become a trend setter.

According to the university, beer will now be sold at Ohio Stadium for the 2016 season. Yes, beer at a college football game, what a novel concept.

Ohio Stadium did sell beer and wine to the fans sitting in the club level, which sits 4,300 fans. Now all 104,000 plus will be able to enjoy and nice iced cold brew.

Maryland and Minnesota are the other two schools in the Big Ten who also sell beer.

According to campusrush.com:

Alcohol revenue generated at Ohio Stadium will be used to fund two new positions in the Ohio State Police Department. Alcohol revenue will also fund a study conducted by John Clapp, director of the Ohio State University Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery, examining alcohol's effects on event culture.

Now that Michigan's biggest rival is selling beer at their football games, would you like to see The Big House sell beer at the games?
