I refuse to believe that.  With all due respect, an MSU degree is practically worthless in Asia.  Why travel halfway across the world to become a Sparty...?

The only schools that matter in Asia are:

1. Harvard

2. Halvald

3. Ha-Vahd

4. Hartford (sometimes people get it mixed up, you know with L's, R's and W's getting lost in translation)

5. Howard (same reason as in 4 above)

6. Michigan (leaders and best, duh)

7. Stanford, Berkeley, UCLA and other California schools (closest state to Asia (other than Hawaii and Alaska) and strong in fields like pre-med, math, engineering, computer science, etc.)

8. NYU (but all foreign-born Asians pronounce this as NIU, which is a totally different school)

MSU’s Chinese student population exploded from 497 in 2003 to 3,633 this fall, excluding non-degree students. It jumped by more than 600 students just in the past year. U-M has 2,145 Chinese students, up from 730 in 2003.

Ah my mistake, it's foreign Chinese students specfically.

Guess I should have used the /s cause mine was a joke about the strange use of "foreign Asians" instead of a more common phrase like chinese nationals. Never seen the usage of "foreign (race/ethnicity)" when referring to non-US resident students.

This one quote from Harbaugh speaks volumes about what is going to be happening at Schembechler Hall and in the living rooms of elite recruits:

"Our young men with the desire to play at the next level and the right work ethic will benefit from Greg's approach and ability."

This one is a little interesting as the prevailing thought was Zordich was in as the safeties coach yet the officially official piece says Jackson is the secondary coach.  Suppose it could be intentionally vague and he'll be tabbed specifically for CBs otherwise this would be a departure from previous SOURCES and REPORTS around these parts and elsewhere.

I think that was from his daily itinerary:

"First to report that Jim Harbaugh has accepted the head coaching position and Michigan...then thank John U Bacon for being the first to report Jim Harbaugh has accepted the head coaching position at Michigan."
