ACC chimes in on spring practice

I obviously love the hire and wanted him as long ago as 2007 but I refuse to pretend anyone is infallible. That said, all the bitching is purely a case of not wanting to work as hard as Harbaugh seemingly has to (lol) and/or not thinking of it first. You're not going to out work the man - period. HCs want everything from the money to the power to the breaks of having people that can do and think for them. They HATE that Jim genuinely wants to out work them. He is a fucking jackhammer. I wish I had his energy and I'm 20 years younger. He's just one of those people that like to work hard at what they do, like, CRAZY hard. That bothers contemporaries.

I love whiners

Haven't seen so many angry Southerners since 1964. 

I gave up the ACC for lent

"Sunbelt Conference commissioner Karl Benson tells NCAA that Michigan's spring practice will drain revenue from Spring Break in NOLA."

Not sure "onslaught" is the right term--"free publicity" more like.

Southerners have lots of sand in their vaginas these days...

I think it is brave of the SEC and ACC to send the kids home and not have swimming practice the whole week before nationals just because it falls during spring break.  Same with gymnastics.

These are the same assholes who schedule games and practices during finals.  It's no surprise they care more about their vacations than their grades.

Call their bluff.  Still have some practices at IMG, just not during Spring Break.

In fact, make one of those practices like a Spring Game and invite all the local high schools to come watch and talk to Harbaugh.

First 100 get free admission to Harbaugh's sattellite camp to be held at IMG.

I've heard a lot of great points mentioned here and other places, for spring pactice as well as summer swarm. Bottom line is the SEC's rational doesn't pass the laugh-test. and the real reason is protecting recruiting territory.

I think that Michigan and other like-minded schools and conferences need to unite and prepare to lobby the NCAA as well  and/or prepare to litigate if need be.  

want to give their student-athletes the break from fall finals until winter semester. You know, skip bowl season so guys can be with family and friends. No? Didn't think so. Are any of the media smart enough and brave enough to challenge these guys on their hypocrisy? Again, no. Carry on, Jim.

The only thing that would make me happier than a clean sweep of our rivals next year would be a colossal beat down of Bama and Clemson back to back to win it all.

......hey a fan can dream!

Queue Harbaugh tweet of JFKs "we're going to the the moon"

And....

"Next year we're going for the big one"

This is fun. Who do we hear complaints from tomorrow? Big 12? PAC 12?

These guys couldn't care less about the well being of students. They're just pissed because Harbaugh is setting up camp in their own backyard and they can't do shit about it.

You don't like it? Set up a camp in Detroit, Cleveland, Cincy, or some other Midwest recruiting hotbed.

Free publicity is great

Add him to the list.

 

Man, it's good to be hated again.

Both my boys while in high school spent each Spring break in FL with two a day baseball practices. Well, they loved it, raised money to pay and was with their buddies playing and practicing the game they loved.

The only difference here is the football players are older and don't have to pay there way. Wow, sounds ideal to me.

It's so great to see these other conference commissioners taking a stand for the student athlete!!  HILARIOUS!!!

Because you can't have one without the other. ACC always following SEC around like a lost little puppy dog.

Doesn't winter break and holidays that other students enjoy with their families suffer because of bowl practices?? These guys are morons.

I thought of how we can make this fair...move two of the major bowls to Northern states. That way southern schools can get more exposure up here

*FART NOISE*

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that other ACC and SEC sports have practices over spring break so do they want to eliminate all of this or just for football?  Hmm, but yeah, it's totally about the free time of the kids.
