INSIDE MICHIGAN ATHLETICS can't afford to fly somewhere who won't be able to enjoy a spring break. What better way to do that than to be playing football?" Southeastern Conference commis‑ sioner Greg Sankey — representing a league already up in arms about Harbaugh's southern invasion via satellite football camps last summer — begs to differ. In fact, he made an attempt to keep the Wolverines from heading south altogether. The SEC petitioned the NCAA to prohibit college squads from con‑ ducting practices during spring break. That set off a round of debate nationally on talk shows, some sid‑ ing with the SEC and many poking fun at the league's circling the wag‑ ons over yet another Harbaugh inno‑ vation and incursion into its territory. In a possibly related message on Harbaugh's Twitter account — posted shortly after the SEC news came out — the coach had this to say: "Question of the day: Does anyone find whining to be attractive? Just curious." Harbaugh, meanwhile, keeps mov‑ ing full speed ahead. "The other thing it's going to allow us to do, by practicing during our spring break, we'll have both weeks of winter finals with no football," Harbaugh said. "They will be dis‑ cretionary weeks, and our guys can concentrate and focus on finals. "We'll be outside, we'll go to the beach, we'll be in Florida. It will be a good time for our team to connect and be together. That's a lot of levels right there to win on, so I'm looking forward to it." Follow Michigan Sports Year-Round With THE WOLVERINE!
