Can you smell it?
Yep, that's the smell of spring practice in Big Ten country. And it now includes 100 percent more palm trees thanks to Jim Harbaugh.
As Michigan prepares to take its spring camp down south, Northwestern's spring practice is officially underway, and it won't be long until the rest of the conference follows suit. Add in the NFL combine taking place in Indianapolis, and it's a surprisingly busy time in the Big Ten, which means it's also a good time for a Big Ten mailbag.
