The NCAA needs to stop Boosters from paying trips for Athletes outside the country.

Striking suspicion JH had this cleared prior to ANNOUNCING it.

First off, I think it's great that Harbaugh is taking these kids to see other countries and learn gin something besides football. Some of these kids have not seen the outside of a small house. This exposure is great for them, so good on UM

That said, Harbaugh would be good to concentrate on getting is team to Indy and the Big 10 title game as much as other countries

The trips aren't exactly making Michigan better on the field. Who cares?

It’s not like his tactics are helping them on the field.

Didn’t they go 8-4 last year?

you really think a top recruit is going to pick a school based on a summer field trip?

seems like an easy way to recruit against harbaugh. trips to the playoff and nfl draft stage sell more than trips to south africa and the outback bowl.

Why? It isn’t like others programs don’t have boosters that can afford to do the same and more.

This is a really good point, and I bet the players respect that he is willing to do this for them and want to play hard for him. Harbaugh, let's face it, is kind of a dick (but most good coaches are) so anything like this helps.

I do not care where teams go to practice, or play, and if it is by donations, who cares. If I was making a few million a year, I would pay for LSU to go train somewhere too!
