Quote: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.

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">I played college football. While it was awesome to work out with, practice with, and hang out with teammates almost all of the time, it was nice to get those rare occasions where you could leave it for a week or even a few days and be at a place where you had no football obligations whatsoever.

<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">No lift time to make. No conditioning time to make. No film to watch. No team meetings. No position meetings. No special team meetings. No training table. No treatment to be at. No classes. Nothing but a little down time. Just down time to relax and recuperate. It is a brief, and welcomed thing to a college athlete.
