How is that not a violation?

I thin this would technically be the same as a basketball team going overseas. I think Gregory took the team to Australia once

 

[SimpleGT]

Obviously not a special benefit, as all 44,700 UM students will be on the trip, paid for by the athletic dept.

Sweet. What a nice guy!

The Italian football conference has lodged a formal complain with the NCAA that this is giving Michigan a recruiting advantage.

I guess since Harbaugh knows he can't beat Ohio State, he is trying to challenge Butch Jones for the Champions of Life trophy for next season.

I'd rather go visit somewhere beautiful in the United States

When was that? I don't remember it.

Harbaugh keeps trying to buy those 'cruits.

Yeah, really gotta believe harbaugh said, "hey let's go to Italy without checking with the NCAA!"

Seems like I remember some team going to Ireland to play football.

Big difference in playing an NCAA sanctioned game and practicing. I would be shocked if it isn't okay by NCAA rules but it won't be come August.

Don't see any difference when people start framing it as regards "benefits not available to other students."

Harbaugh is such a "look-at-me asshole"

 

[DressCheeseSideSeaboard]

This is ok because Michigan is fully cooperating with the NCAA. In the end, this will mean more probation for Georgia Tech.

Sounds like an excuse for Harbaugh to have another sleepover

I was just in Rome a few days ago. Pretty sweet for the UofM players.

Perhaps CPJ should arrange a trip to Rome Ga for our boys. They've already conquered Athens.

Rome is amazing. I'm jelly
