Jim Harbaugh hints at Michigan playing game overseas

There is always something interesting said when a coach takes the podium.

Especially when that coach is Jim Harbaugh.

The 2019 Big Ten Media Days are currently going on and will conclude Friday night. On Friday morning, however, Harbaugh had his turn at the podium.

The Michigan head coach talked about a lot and at one point was asked about potentially playing games overseas due to his love for traveling with the team. Here’s what Harbaugh had to say:

Jim Harbaugh said an announcement will come soon about Michigan playing another team overseas. No specifics on whether or not it would be a scrimmage or a regular season game.

Am not surprised Michigan intends to play a game overseas — I asked Harbaugh about that at the conclusion of the Rome spring trip in 2017 and he was very much in favor of that.

At first, when starting his statement, he asked the media members attending the event if they knew anything about a potential upcoming overseas game that Michigan was going to be a part of. He quickly realized that nobody knew.
