Thought it was a ploy at first, but from what I've seen it seems like it has been a great experience for the team and Harbaugh and his family. Marty Smith, the ESPN guy with the team, said that being with the team he can see that it's more than just the guys hanging out, and the entire team gets to tour one of the most historic places on Earth. The NCAA says all the time that college athletics is all about the experience of being a college athlete. This is a once in a lifetime experience that 90% of these guys would not have had were it not for this trip.

It seemed gimmicky to me at first because it is Harbaugh, but if it were any other coach (besides Saban probably) people would love this.

I agree, and if I was a Travel Agent, I'd be on the phone calling every big football school asap trying to book a trip like this for them...
