I am actually not mad. Kids just as well get to see Europe or somewhere else.

Michigan will do anything to promote their brand since they can't do it on the field.

Alabama, LSU, Florida, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee would be great for training abroad. They do well with on-the-field promoting. SEC is a consistent national brand and has been for years.

A&M is the only one that can match UMs money

All of the SEC powers Athletic Departments could make room and afford this

only a matter if others would meddle. See LSU academics being the poors.

Alabama as well. Both are routinely ahead of UM in revenue. Unless you're talking booster money.

Florida leaving the state is hard enough, how do you expect them to leave the country?

Australia would be a good choice. They pump out kickers, and then recruit some of those crazy rugby baatards.

I don't know where Michigan falls on that spectrum.

No, because only a few coaches feel secure enough to take the risk of a diluted Spring Training. Those coaches who are secure are too hard nose to waste the football time.

I could see it being more concentrated

Training week you control 100% of their time

also fair point you could dilute practice though. Honestly I think it is good exposure for the kids from educational standpoint. Sport generates enough to broaden these kids

This has to cost and arm/leg

But i thinks it's something cool to do to reward the kids.

I think it is a great thing and should be complimented. I also think Harbaugh is doing it for his players and not for the exposure.

I'm sure their enrollment was double Alabama's in the 20th century

Didn't the NCAA put a ban on it beginning next academic calendar year?
