Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh has expressed an interest in playing a game overseas in the past, and now it appears that desire is inching closer to being a reality.
At Big Ten Media Days, Harbaugh said that an announcement will be happening soon on that front.
“I think we’re really close to announcing, actually, playing another team on foreign soil,” Harbaugh said. “I think there’s something really imminent. There will be an announcement soon on that.”
Harbaugh said he wasn’t ready to announce where the game will be played or who the opponent will be, and it remains to be seen what year this game will be played in, as Michigan doesn’t have an open date on their schedule until 2022.
