Power 5 conferences vote to stop spring practices off campus Posted Jan 20, 2017 The Power Five conferences voted Friday to stop coaches from taking teams off-campus during any vacation period outside a sport's season for practice, a rule proposed after Jim Harbaugh took his Michigan Wolverines to Florida last year. The rule passed by a 58-22 margin at the Power Five conferences' third autonomy session at the NCAA convention and will take effect Aug. 1. (Associated Press)
