He wants to coach in Florida SO badly that he wants to hold part of his spring practice down here...
UMich spring practice in Fl
"Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has another unique idea.
U-M is attempting to hold a portion of its spring football practice in Florida at the IMG Academy, according to a person with knowledge of the plans but is not authorized to speak publicly.
The news was first reported by TheWolverine.com.
While a Michigan official was unable to comment at this time, the plan makes sense.
IMG Academy is located in Bradenton, Fla. and has dorm-style rooms and small apartments available plus multiple football fields on its campus. There is also a common dining hall area for the team to eat if necessary.
Harbaugh has made multiple trips to visit the campus during recruiting since coming to Michigan, including a trip during Michigan's football bye week last October.
Michigan is in the enviable position of having a large football budget (over $64 million surplus for the 2013-14 fiscal year) so the resources would not be a problem.
The issues would be the location and the amount of practice time. The NCAA spring practice rules (bylaw 17.10.6.4) govern how often a team can practice (15 times) and the span (34 calendar days not counting schools vacations) and how much contact there can be (only in 12 of the 15 practices). There is nothing noted about the location..."

WTF? Class? Huh...where? Are you talking about "high-class" vs "lower class?" What does "class" have to do with anything? What are you talking about? Class? Class!?

The real message is that if no one wants to hold spring practice in Michigan and Michigan wants to go to Florida, why in the world would you go to Michigan full time only to long to go back to Florida?
Michigan people hate Michigan so much, they move to Florida, they practice in Florida, and they hate snow. So, why would you go to school there?
