CHICAGO — Jim Harbaugh has taken his Michigan Wolverines football team on several trips overseas since arriving at U-M, including Rome, Paris and South Africa.
The next step — actually playing overseas.
Harbaugh first expressed interest in it when his team practiced in Rome a few years ago, noting he’d love to do it. It’s about to come to fruition, he disclosed when asked if he’d be up for playing a game somewhere like Mexico City.
“Sure. We like travel,” he said. “Mexico City would be great.
“We’re scheduling something … we’re close to announcing playing another team on foreign soil.”
