If approved, here comes the "spring training" portion of the arms race for spring practices. It will be a game of "can you top this" for spring practice locales and the cost will be huge to move that many players for a week, and only the big boys will be able to pull this off:
per MLive.com:
Jim Harbaugh's got another idea.
We'll see if he's allowed to do it.
A source with knowledge of the situation told MLive on Sunday that the Michigan football program is considering an attempt to spend a portion of its upcoming spring practice session in the state of Florida.
The news was first reported Sunday by The Wolverine, who reported that Harbaugh will potentially try to have the team spend one week of its practice session at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla.
A venture like this would obviously have to be cleared by Michigan's compliance department, the Big Ten and the NCAA. And, at this point, nothing has been made official from anyone at Michigan.
Spending more time in the state of Florida would, presumably, only help Harbaugh's ongoing recruiting efforts inside the state.
At the moment, Michigan has five commitments in its 2016 class from the state of Florida.
