Chicago – Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has taken his football team on donor-paid overseas spring trips the last three years, first to Rome, then Paris and South Africa this year, so it should come as no surprise the Wolverines are close to announcing they will play a game on “foreign soil”.
Harbaugh, being unusually quippy during his Big Ten media days appearance Friday, was asked about an idea outgoing commissioner Jim Delany floated on Thursday about playing abroad, perhaps Mexico City.
“We like travel,” Harbaugh said with a smile when asked about the possibility.
