ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Jim Harbaugh doesn't do anything at half speed. So it was no surprise that, when the NCAA freed him to run as many satellite camps as he desired, the second-year Michigan coach dialed up something approaching a world tour.

Harbaugh's current camp schedule includes 36 sites, with the school on Tuesday announcing camps in Las Vegas and Hawaii. Harbaugh and his staff will visit 21 states and two foreign countries: Australia and Samoa. That doesn't include the Wolverines' spring-break trip to IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, during which the entire current team spent a week of spring practice on the road.
