Why does the SEC care if Michigan practices down South?

To make a big deal out of it looks childish and silly. Let them do it and one-up them.

For the same reasons the SEC typically don't travel North to play games. It's all about recruiting. I personally don't have an issue with it but do find it funny that his league's commissioner talks about giving players more time off away from football and then STFU when Harbaugh does his FLa gig.

How does it help them? If it works wouldn't we all have a precedent set to do the same?

You don't see how setting up "camps", in states that produce the most talent, in helpful in recruiting? Jim is smart to try this and I don't blame him but it is fairly obvious why he does it.

Yea, who doesn't prefer practice in FL, over MI during February and March.
Would be willing to bet, it wouldn't have the same affect, if we did the same, practicing in OH.(the big recruiting ground up there).

It still doesn't really change the fact that it could open up SEC schools doing camps in places like California

The SEC will not allow satellite camps out of respect for each other in the league. Mississippi doesn't want Alabama hosting a camp in Jackson. Alabama doesn't want Mississippi schools setting up in Birmingham. We literally can't do it. So yes.... It's a big deal. But if Michigan opens up this can of worms, the SEC may just put a camp in Ann Arbor and each school will alternate weeks up there. Don't poke the bear and the SEC doesn't want to get taken a fool. I think it looks dumb to give Harbough all the attention and come off as being scared, but at the same time I get it
And to what people are saying about the recruiting ground applies too. Obviously Florida is pumping out a ridiculous amount of talent. The SEC shacking up in Pennsylvania would not be quite the gain as Michigan would be getting.

Sure, but it still isn't going to give the SEC teams as much of an advantage as some of the other conferences.

Who would want to go to Michigan?

How would SEC schools setting up shop in California not be an advantage for them? I don't think that's any different than Harbaugh coming down to Florida

It's about going to a high school football power house.
iMg for an all expense paid trip /vacation for the players.
This is not allowed for regular students the administration isn't taking all of the student body there. So it violates amateurism.
Also img has a ton of top talent... As you should know but apparently don't.
This puts harbaugh with them For a week.
Harbaugh is some kind of autistic. Guy just pushes shite, he must have a team of guys brainstorming ways to find loop holes.
From his interview to recent tweets, I now understand what the San Fransisco 49ers GM was dealing with, and why they got him out of there.
But the guy can lead a cult that's for sure.
Sleepover at a recruit's house, no problem that's just our Jim.

I agree with this. Not to mention 4 of the best recruiting grounds, are in the SEC. I guess you could say 3, since LA doesn't have the population numbers.
But per capita, other than LA being #1, I think MS and AL are right behind.(could be wrong on these)

Why would the SEC shack up in Penn? To get a crack of the handful of big time football prospects? Hardly. Harbaugh knows where the talent is and is going there in hopes of getting some of them. Brilliant move on his part.
But there has already been rumblings from the NCAA that the whole thing will be looked at over the summer and I am willing to bet they put their foot down on it after that.

Because if anyone can do it then it really isn't an advantage. As a whole the SEC already controls the states that produce the most highly talented recruits. Why would the Sec want to shake any of this up. We already have the upper hand on the other schools.

PN and OH have plenty of prospects, but those states wouldn't help us.
I would actually bet that a top prospect from the NOLA area,(just picking a deep south place) choosing between LSU and Bama, could very well choose the other school, if one had spring practice up in a very possibly snowy area.
Hey I could be completely wrong, but I'm sure several prospects feel that way.

I was saying we aren't going to shack in Pennsylvania. I was using the state as a joke. Obviously it's not a benefit for us. That's why I said it pretty clearly.

So then why is this such an issue? If this one instance of setting up a camp isnt going to change the status quo, why is this a thing?

Because why would you want them too, even if the chance to change the status quo is very small. It doesn't make any sense for the SEC schools to want them in those states, especially the bigger schools. As I said earlier, Jim is smart for trying this and I don't blame him.
Also you say one instance but do you really think it will just be once? Of course not
