Michigan’s spring football excursion to Italy carried nearly $800,000 price tag

While Jim Harbaugh hasn’t quite made the waves he usually does around the college football world this offseason, the Michigan head coach did raise some eyebrows a few months ago when he took the Wolverines all the way to Italy in the spring. The trip coincided with a few days of spring football practice and included a handful of cultural activities that even resulted in a visit to meet the Pope himself. All that fun, games and pizza cost the athletic department a pretty penny as you could expect and this week we learned just how much the total bill was.

“It’s going to come in around $750,000, $800,000,” UM athletic director Warde Manuel said Tuesday, according to the Detroit News. “It will be about $5,000 to $6,000 a person, so it was a great investment. It was just terrific. We pay them through an educational experience like Michigan does all the time. I don’t think about it in terms of paying our athletes but if people want to say we should give something to our students of value, I can’t think of a better way to invest in them for their lifetime and their experience.”

Can't the ncaa step in and bar this crap. There's maybe only ten schools in the nation that can afford this. Even the majority of P5 schools would probably want it barred.

Just to put it in perspective, tsun could pay for about 50 full tuition scholarships for Michigan residents with the money Jimmy is wasting on these junkets, which anyone with the slightest bit of brain activity knows is all about getting a recruiting advantage.

Michigan didn't foot the bill for this. A booster did, which makes it even more outlandish that they allowed it.

I'm happy for the kids that they got a great trip out of this hypocrisy, but it was pretty blatant.
