Jim Harbaugh’s creativity provokes another football rules reaction

Jim Harbaugh’s envelope-pushing tactics are prompting others to call for a rewrite of NCAA rules.

The Southeastern Conference is pushing to stop the Michigan football team’s planned spring break trip to Florida – to hold several spring practice sessions – before it happens. Michigan’s plan is to practice at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. That’s smack in SEC territory, of course. But SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said location wasn’t the issue.

“If this was done in Montana during spring break we’d be having the full conversation,” Sankey told USA TODAY Sports.
