Quote: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.

 

I really don't think you understand the mindset of a college athlete.  Football players are a united brotherhood that loves being around one another.  Factor in a free trip to Bradenton/Sarasota during the spring break months and you have the perfect recipe for happiness.

 

You don't think Jim Harbaugh will have those kids out on the beaches of Siesta Key for a few days ????   This is a marketing gig to illustrate the benefits that go along with 4 & 5 star players committing to Michigan. He's going to make certain these players are pampered like crazy.

 

Trust me.  Big Joey Five Star would much rather be in FL with his teammates than be with mom & dad for a week.
