when did michigan state join the big ten?
1950
since michigan state joined the big ten conference in 1950 , michigan leads the series 38–30–2 including the 2018 meeting. michigan was a charter member of the big ten in 1896 before leaving the league after the 1906 football season and returning for the 1917 season. michigan state joined the big ten in 1950 and, in their first game as conference rivals (1953), defeated michigan 14–6 in east lansing. the reason michigan state joined the big ten in 1950, but did not begin officially competing in big ten football until 1953, is because the university of michigan blocked michigan state from joining the "big 9" (which would have made it the big 10), believing that michigan's intrastate dominance would be curtailed.
