LANSING, Mich.

Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm and North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue have placed a friendly wager on the outcome of the NCAA men's basketball championship game.

Michigan State plays North Carolina for the national title Monday night at Ford Field in Detroit.

Granholm and Perdue have agreed the losing governor must be photographed enjoying tasty treats from the winning state while wearing the winning team's jersey and hat - and the photo must be publicly released.

The governor of the losing team also will donate $100 to a local food bank in the winning team's state.

Granholm said in a statement Sunday night the Spartans have given Michigan a "great gift" and thanked them for "uplifting our entire state and for giving us hope."
