The SEC and commissioner Greg Sankey are trying to block Michigan from doing some of its spring practice at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. As a result, Jim Harbaugh tweeted the following about the SEC ‘Whining’:
Sankey, who has asked the NCAA to prohibit teams from holding spring practice during the week of spring break, had the following response to Harbaugh’s tweet:
“I’m not going to reduce what is an important conversation to some childhood use of Twitter,” Sankey told AL.com. “This is an important issue.”
Kevin Scarbinsky of AL.com thinks Harbaugh and Michigan should head to SEC territory in the future and play a game at UAB:
You’d be parading the Michigan brand all over Birmingham, the home of the SEC office, an hour away from Tuscaloosa and a couple of hours from Auburn.
You’d be helping a UAB program that a lot of people in the area fought to bring back from the dead, earning you some positive publicity from coast to coast.

Harbaugh also dropped these quotes about the Wolverines’ upcoming trip and his America:
