DESTIN, Fla. — While the war of words between Alabama head coach Nick Saban and Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh dominated headlines early during SEC spring meetings, the increased focus on player discipline has been the one constant through the first two days of the four-day event.
The conference stepped out and began to lead the charge in reforming player discipline at this event last year, when it passed the "Jonathan Taylor rule" that prevents potential transfer players who have a history of sexual assault, sexual violence and domestic violence from being admitted to a school.
