Ohio State AD Gene Smith throws some shade at Michigan over spring break practices

ANN ARBOR -- Earlier this month, it seemed as though Ohio State's football coach had no real opposing views toward Jim Harbaugh's spring football practice plan.

On Tuesday, however, Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer walked that back a bit during a conversation with reporters in Columbus. This time around, Meyer explained that while he'll certainly look into the idea -- if the NCAA still allows it -- he "can't see taking spring break away from players."

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith was a little more stern on the topic, taking the opportunity to throw a little rivalry shade toward Harbaugh and Michigan on Tuesday.
