The Michigan football team will head to IMG Academy for four practices to start their spring practices, that is, if the NCAA allows them to. According to Dennis Dodd of CBSSports, the SEC is attempting to prevent Michigan’s trip to Bradenton, Florida.
The SEC has asked the NCAA to prohibit college football teams from holding spring practice during spring break, commissioner Greg Sankey told CBS Sports on Tuesday.
Essentially, the SEC is saying spring break should be considered spring break. Some athletes choose to spend their time doing mission trips to other countries. Others prefer to take the traditional spring break vacation and unwind. Enduring point: It’s their time.
Dodd notes that SEC’s effort will probably come in too late to make a change, but the rule will likely be changed moving forward.
One high-ranking source told CBS Sports that an effort similar to Michigan’s will most likely be prohibited in the near future but a decision is not expected to be handed down in time to prevent the planned trip to Florida.
