Jim Harbaugh ruffling SEC feathers yet again with Florida spring practice

Thank goodness for the SEC. That league is always looking out for the best interest of its players and protecting the integrity of the sport. At least whenever it feels someone is threatening its fertile recruiting territory.

The SEC's latest campaign to preserve the sanctity of college football is to ask the NCAA to prohibit teams from holding spring practice during spring break. The move, first reported by CBSSports.com, comes shortly after Michigan announced plans to hold part of its spring practice at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, during the Wolverines' spring break.
