In an apparent attempt to block Michigan from conducting part of its spring practice at IMG Academy in Florida, the SEC has asked the NCAA to prohibit college football teams from holding practice during spring break.
While there is currently no NCAA rule prohibiting the practice location or occurring dates, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey told CBS Sports Tuesday that Michigan's decision takes away from the student-athletes time off and they shouldn't be at practice during their time off.
“Our primary reaction [is] that, in the face of the time-demand conversations, we've got one program taking what has been 'free time' away,” Sankey told CBS Sports.
