Quote:So forcing the kids to miss their Spring Break is okay as long is the sport is in season? Also, North Carolina and Kentucky didn't take their Bahamas trips in season. They took those trips over summer break. Where was your uproar then?

 

 

And you'll have to clarify why you brought Emmert up yourself if you insist I misread it.

 

You really are as ignorant as they come.

 

Football players sometime miss Christmas with their family because of bowl games, New Years, Thanksgiving.  Spring Break in season is a drop in the bucket compared to that.  The main point Trav was trying to make was that if a football player is potentially giving up all that time for practice and a bowl game then that time should be given back to them during the spring.  Do you understand?  I'm sure you will glaze over this because it is what you do, but its the actual truth.

 

Using a softball team and a rowing team that travels for games or practice/tournaments is literally the dumbest thing you can do.  Do you want to now tell us that there are basketball teams that go to Maui for preseason tournaments and tell us how that's unfair?  It is still in season!  If Michigan wanted to come to Florida in season and spend a week here, feel free...but they aren't.
