Over a month ago, Jim Harbaugh and Michigan sent shockwaves through the college football community by announcing that they would be the first college coaching staff to take their satellite camps internationally, first to Australia, and then to American Samoa.
Considering the wealth of talent on the islands and the number of guys with Somoan heritage that litter college football rosters including Oregon, Oregon State, Utah, USC and a host of others, the move understandably created a ton of buzz.
Well, it turns out the dreaded Zika virus has spoiled that trip.
Harbaugh announced in late May that he and his wife Sarah are expecting another child (their fourth together), and if you know anything about the Zika virus you completely understand that it is not something that you want to risk getting when you've got a child on the way.
John Raynar, the communications director for the Republican Party of American Samao who was among the first to initially announce the planned trip over a month ago, had the following to share via Facebook.
The American Samoa satellite camp can wait another year for the Wolverines, and hopefully by then someone, somewhere has found a cure for this horrifying Zika virus that is impacting so many lives.
