Why the FUCK is the Spring Game this weekend? It's going to be in the 40s. Wait until the last weekend of the month and host this thing as late as possible when it can realisitically be 20 degrees warmer.

(You also get more time between practices...assisting with retention and recovery).

Makes too much sense.

One or two weeks makes very little difference in terms of weather.  The spring game is a fun fan event, but they aren't going to move around the whole spring practice schedule just for the hope of (marginally, at best) better weather for a spring scrimmage.

Must suck when your own conference has rules that put you at a disadvantage relative to others.

Sorry but, coming from an SEC coach, I have no sympathy.

Oh man it just keeps getting better...

This type of article only keeps Harbaugh and UM in the news as a threat to the power structure during the off-season.  I hope more SEC coaches complain.

Alabama got their first Heisman trophy winner from us.......they can kiss my arse.  I like this move by Harbough.  If their pissed we must be doing something right.

that SEC coaches are crying foul.  The league that parlayed the BCS era into their own PR bonanza.  The SEC manipulating everything in college football to their advantage under the BCS now in the playoff era find that other leagues are going to catch up and compete for everything.

SEC needs this rule, otherwise they would all have camps in each other's back yards. It's fine for Michigan to have a camp in Alabama. May we get a player or 2 every few years as a result and build up a good name, but imagine all of the SEC teams throwing camps in Alabama. They don't want to deal with the more local teams, where they will lose a lot of talent.

At first I thought this was an April Fool's joke.

I then read the summary and thought it was a joke about a satellite camp in Alex Malzone's backyard, literally.

SEC is upset about satellite camps and we're upset about our "locks", appearing with wads of cash and committing elsewhere.  Or signing 120 players every 4 years.

Suck it up SEC, you can get angry, we'll get even!

I think I'll categorize that as an opinion based soley off of current situation. I'd bet he wouldn't be complaining if he was coaching at any school up North.

There really is no downside for allowing these camps for every school. The high school players are the ones that benefit the most. Who wouldn't want Jim Harbaugh to coach them for a day in their own backyard? I could say the same thing about Saban, Miles, etc.

Programs should be competing to get recruits, it gives the kid more options.

Look Gus, we're sorry that the camps are upsetting you fellas down South.  How about we agree that we'll stop the camps if you all stop oversigning and paying kids to play?  We got a deal?  No? Oh well.  That's too bad.  Please say hello to Cam for us the next time you talk to him.

Too bad, Gus. Every coach in every non-SEC conference (possible exceptions of Clemson and FSU) is unhappy about the bag men, but I don't hear them complaining.

"I think the SEC coaches last year made it clear that we'd like it to be that way throughout the country," Malzahn said.

The arrogance of this comment is one of the many reasons I dislike the SEC in general. Yes, the SEC had their 7 year run of football NC's, but that doesn't mean you get to dictate how all of college football should be run.

The B1G tried to get academic standards raised across the NCAA because it would have created a more even playing field in college sports. Guess what? The SEC didn't like that idea.
