The Southeastern Conference is looking to thwart Michigan's hopes of holding some of its spring practice in the state of Florida during the offseason.
League commissioner Greg Sankey told CBS Sports that the SEC has asked the NCAA to prohibit schools from holding practice during spring break. This comes on the heels of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh's announcement that the Wolverines will spend part of spring break (Feb. 27 to March 6) practicing at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. The plan would be for Michigan to hold practices at IMG on Feb. 29, March 1 and March 3-4, according to CBS Sports.
"Our primary reaction [is] that, in the face of the time-demand conversations, we've got one program taking what has been 'free time' away," Sankey told CBS Sports. "Let's draw a line and say, 'That's not appropriate.'"
