No major college sports program is complete without at least one staffer skilled in the arts of advanced photo editing. Having him or her ready to mask out and clip together a potentially viral meme or promo guarantees maximum social engagement. Michigan is not lacking in resources and apparently not oblivious from the latest trends in music or upcoming releases.

Check out this awesome tweet from Sunday which has perfectly mimicked the album cover for Drake's "Views from the 6," set to be released on April 29. In the Michigan promo, Jim Harbaugh is Drake and the Michigan Stadium scoreboard is the CN Tower in Toronto.

Of course, Michigan football wasn't the only account to jump in on the fun. Drake's album cover is just the latest meme-ified artifact getting gobbled up by our internet society on retweet at a time.
