University of Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said Tuesday he expects the final cost for the football team's trip to Italy in April to clock in somewhere between $750,000 and $800,000.

"It's going to come in around $750,000, $800,000," Manuel said, per the Detroit News' Angelique S. Chengelis. "Waiting on a few numbers, so we don't have it final, final, but it will be around 750, 800.

"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.
