it bothers you that much, bro? Come on. You're better than this.
Do you realize why there has only 1 team to win the national championship in the past 9 years that wasn't from a southern state? Do you know the reason? The SEC and the lower half of the ACC have a built in competitive advantage on recruits. We have more and ours are better overall. If we let them do this then more schools will and there will be much more competition on the recruiting trail. If you can't see that then I'm sorry.

Either these practices will be held when classes are not in session at Michigan or the entire football team is taking online classes.

If it is legal for other teams then I don't have a problem.

LSU should practice at Bishop Gorman or some other national power in the West or North.

Get used to it. We're currently sitting at #2 in recruiting rankings. I loved how everyone was dogging his class last year when we could only sign half a class. Changes are coming. GO BLUE.

Either way I don't want them doing that shite. Some of you laugh now, but if he pulls this off it will snowball. Next you will have Stoops hosting camps in New Orleans over the summer and lets see how many LSU fans like that.

Your boy Nicky Saban doesn't try to find creative ways to circumvent recruiting rules? STFU sonny.

There is no need to. The SEC owns the recruiting hotbeds as they are. We get half of the top players from Texas and own all the SEC states in recruiting. There is no need to step out of our own footprint too often.

Just out of curiosity, how does the SEC do in South Florida and is there a direct leader there? Obviously, you'd first think Miami would (then split between FSU and Florida), but they've be down for 10 or so years.

Bama does very well there. Cooper and Ridley just to name two. Florida and Auburn have a good presence there as well.

As a parent, I'd rather my son go to Michigan than LSU or Alabama.

Your school is playing for the national championship in a few hours and you're worried about a Big 10 team's practice...

Yeah, that was for a bowl game. Every team practices at a local high school during bowl game prep.

Maybe because I can see the long term effects this could have on recruiting. I like have an advantage. I want to keep that way.

But you don't care if Alabama poaches talent away from Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, and Florida?

That is our footprint. Other SEC schools go into Bama and get good players as well. We aren't going into each other's states and holding campus and practices either though.
