Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh suggested on Twitter that Tennessee coach Butch Jones should focus on his own team instead of tweeting about having lunch in Florida, where the Wolverines are holding spring practice this week at the IMG Academy.
Jones and the Volunteers athletic program have been doing damage control recently after a lawsuit filed by a group of women alleged that the University of Tennessee violated Title IX regulations with a policy of indifference toward assaults by student-athletes.
In a filing in the case, a former Tennessee player accused Jones of calling him a traitor for helping a woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted by two Vols players.
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema started this Twitter folly Wednesday when he posted: “After early meetings & lift tomorrow with our players. Thinking about heading to watch an open practice tomorrow at IMG with the staff.”
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio retweeted Bielema’s post and added: “Want to do lunch?”
