Yeah let's limit a free spring break trip for students! Thanks, SEC!

You can also thank our B1G brethren who voted 11-4 for the ban.
January 20th, 2017 at 1:37 PM ^
15 votes?
January 20th, 2017 at 1:40 PM ^
Typo 11-3
January 20th, 2017 at 1:43 PM ^
Gotcha. Ok. I wonder who the other two votes were with us.
January 20th, 2017 at 2:37 PM ^
Doesn't Chicago still have a vote?
January 20th, 2017 at 6:51 PM ^
voted against the ban 11-4.
January 20th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
I'm going to guess the only schools who voted to not ban are Michigan, Ohio State, and Wisconsin or Penn State.
January 20th, 2017 at 1:46 PM ^
Yeah, I was thinking the 3rd would be Wisconsin or Penn State too. Didn't Penn State criticize it at some point last year? I seem to remember Franklin making comments about it.

Betting on Maryland, they have the money and need the exposure. Wisconsin are cheap fucks.

Except the NCAA....errr. SEC will allow payments for all SEC schools.
January 20th, 2017 at 1:04 PM ^
Paul Finebaum is still a fuckstick.

What if a football player wants to take an actual vacation during the break? I understand the benefits to us going down in FL to recuit players, but what if some players do not want to practice during their vacation. If Jim wants to take his players to FL to scape the cold, he can still do it. They just cannot practice while there.

The NCAA and the SEC are awful and deserve the hate this board gives them, but what no one here has mentioned is that Student-Athletes are also in favor for it. This proposal was put forward to all SAACs (Student Athlete Advisory Committee, governing body of student-athletes run by student-athletes located at every NCAA school) and they all voted in favor of a ban over forced practices during school breaks in the offseason. This wasn't as much the NCAA protecting their golden child in the SEC, this was all athletes in all sports wanting this.

its turf. But let's not kid ourselves that this was about anything but recruiting from Jim's point of view. What I hope he will do is to take the team to IMG for other activities (fun and otherwise) during the break. They can do all kind of eye catching stuff and get even more publicity out of it.

This could be a valid point if they had banned out of season practices during school breaks. However, they didn't do that. They only banned off campus out of season practices during school breaks. This, to me, is the most hypocritcal aspect of the ban. If they truly had the interests of the "student-athletes" in mind, they could have and should have taken it a step further. Instead, it is a very pointed ruling.
January 20th, 2017 at 6:49 PM ^
Yep, you win.

Oops. double post

However, I am fully confident that Harbaugh has 10 different backup plans to fuck with the NCAA.
January 20th, 2017 at 12:39 PM ^
I'm with Brian's plan:
they ban anything legal you try to get an edge with while simultaneously flouting the One Rule--don't pay 'em--with impunity

Unleash the bagmen. The NCAA doesn't give a shit about them, so why should anyone else? And Michigan has more money than just about everyone. If the SEC wants to bring piss to a shit fight, let 'em.

Harbaugh is always better than the NCAA. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next.
January 20th, 2017 at 11:21 AM ^
Thats plagiarism

I dropped the y in the first they. Lawyers approved it.

At some point, someone needs to attack this latest piece of rule making as well as the reduction of summer camps via the courts under the auspices of antitrust.
January 20th, 2017 at 11:19 AM ^
So you can do it in every other collegiate sport except Football? Makes sense, good job NCAA.
Why not just name it the "Fuck Jim Harbaugh and All of Our Student Athletes" rule?

Softball plays its first 23 games away from home this year.
Water Polo played 28 of 38 games away from home last year.

They're students and they're athletes. What should they be called?

That's quite the tinfoil beanie you've made, there. Who's behind the NFL, pulling their strings? Freemasons, Commies, or Illuminati?

Revenue sources?

Most of the golf team lives in off campus housing .....in Florida

How hard would it be to establish a satellite "campus" each spring and then shut it down after spring practice?
[Edit -- looks like I needed to read further down the thread where this exact idea was already posted!]

If I listed everything they did in those meetings I'd be forced to create a diary.
