This sounds like a great win/win for students and coaches. Do all schools take advantage of this?
I sure hope my son's team does this.

Definitely not all do. You're allowed to do it once every three years, and with it, you also get to have 10 practices in pads in the spring. "Overseas" games can definitely include Canada and Mexico.

Other sports do this more often than football. It's obviously easier and less expensive to transport a basketball team or a volleyball team out of the country than it is a football team.

Didn't Wabash go to Spain last year and play a semi pro team? How cool that had to be!

Also, they have to fundraise and players are responsible for their own expenses basically. So a lot of time this is not a very easy thing to do. Much more popular with smaller sized sports.

A subset of the team (32 players) went to Spain last year.    It was their fourth trip - second to Europe - since 2003.

The best is when John Carroll and St. Norbert's played in Dublin, for the first game of the season in 2012!
