NCAA committee initiates move to eliminate Michigan's spring break trips

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- If Jim Harbaugh is eyeing another big spring-break trip, this year is the time to do it.

NCAA leadership took steps this week at the association's annual convention to close the loophole that allowed Harbaugh to escort Michigan off campus for four practices over spring break last March at IMG Academy, a Florida recruiting hotspot.

The Division I Council on Wednesday asked the Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee to review and report its recommendation on the issue of staging practice sessions away from campus during a break from school.

Brady Bramlett, SAAC co-chair, said Thursday that the 32-member committee stands opposed to such trips.
