ROME (AP) — Jim Harbaugh stood with a megaphone, his team at his back, in front of more than a thousand spectators, some sporting maize and blue. [...] if you'll allow us, we'll sing our fight song. The Wolverines wrapped up their spring practice in style Saturday in Italy, belting out a rendition of "The Victors," in what was their final act as a team in Rome. Michigan's players tossed gloves and T-shirts into the crowd, signed autographs and posed for selfies to show gratitude for the unique college football experience. "With coach Harbaugh, whether it's resources, time, ideas, it's all geared toward his roster," Michigan quarterback Wilton Speight said. Before practice, Harbaugh outlined his plans to take Michigan on another trip like this next spring as long as the NCAA allows it, of course. Harbaugh took some time to explain how he hopes this type of trip is embraced across college football. Michigan's players will have the entire month of May off before returning to football activities in June, enjoying a break that appears to be rare in major college football. Harbaugh wants to allow his players the opportunity to study abroad, find jobs, get internships and be with their families. After interacting with fans Saturday afternoon under clear blue skies in Rome, the Wolverines stopped for photos.
