ANN ARBOR -- Jim Harbaugh's full-fledged spring football game is coming to Ann Arbor.

Complete with a draft.

The school announced via its website Friday that Michigan will have its spring game draft March 28, one week before the team concludes spring camp with an actual spring game on April 4.

This will be quite a change from years past, as former coach Brady Hoke often opted for a glorified practice instead of an actual game.

During his time at Stanford, Harbaugh's spring games were typically quite a detailed ordeal. The coaching staff is usually split into two sides, and the entire group conducted a full "draft" inside the team meeting room in front of all the players.

In those days, the players who were picked early were typically singled out in front of their teammates as people who had exceptional spring camps.

Both sides will likely compete in a controlled scrimmage, meaning there will be a winner and a loser.

At Stanford, the winning team was rewarded with a steak dinner, while the losers had to eat hot dogs.

"(We'll) choose up sides," Harbaugh said last week. "Just like the playground."

Michigan's 2015 spring game will air at noon on the Big Ten Network on April 4.
