Michigan's trip to Italy cost $800K

T and URG swear by it...

never been there, but I guess we don't all need to pay for it like you do

I know he is not Steve Spurrier, or even close, in shape, form or fashion.

I think you completely missed the point.
He's one step ahead of everybody else, spurrier was always ahead of the game that's what made him great and most people who aren't UF fans couldn't stand the guy.
If it's allowed in the rule book and your school can afford to do it why wouldn't you do it?

I guess you can do this there quite regularly. EFF HARBAUGH!

I know he is not Steve Spurrier, or even close, in shape, form or fashion.

And that is probably very true. There's no one like our SOS. But for them, a pretty successful QB under Bo Schembechler and now head coach has returned to take them to the promised land. I would consider Harbaugh old school. We'll have to see what happens but for Mich they hired their version of Spurrier. I hope that makes more sense.

To somehow equate the sleazeball Harbaugh with Steve Spurrier is odious to me. But that's just me, I guess. I have no idea how anyone else feels.

Agree, but the dynamic he referenced is accurate.

Hairball the bugger eater...

That reminded me of that place Vulcan used to pass it a lot and when I mentioned it to him we looked it up.

Out of control here....and this isn't a recruiting advantage???


Michigan players say they want to hit Paris and London next spring

http://collegefootballtalk.nbcsport...hey-want-to-hit-paris-and-london-next-spring/

Michigan’s spring break trip to Rome was a spectacular success for all involved. No one got left behind in Italy and Jim Harbaugh got to meet the Pope. It becomes a smashing success when you realize that a booster covered all of the nearly $800,000 cost to ship the Wolverines to Europe and back.

So, naturally, Michigan’s players want to do it again next year.

According to the Detroit Free Press, the Wolverines voted to visit London and Paris/Normandy in 2018.

“Rome was great, there was so much to see,” Harbaugh told the paper. “One of the things we thought about after the trip was to go to multiple places. Not just stay in one place. There was so much to see in Rome it was unbelievable. There is in Paris but we’re there to see Paris, Normandy and London is the way we’re striving for.”

This spring’s trip lasted eight days. A trip to three sites in two countries with the English Channel between them figures to drive costs up dramatically.

But what does Michigan care? They’re not paying for it anyway.
