Alabama football coach Nick Saban announced on Thursday that the Crimson Tide will begin spring practice on March 13, but will have its workout schedule interrupted by spring break.
The Crimson Tide will practice both March 13-14, then take the following week off for spring break. Practice will resume on March 24, with three workouts per week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) leading up to the April 12 A-Day game.
The reason for the split is to avoid conflicting with a triathlon event scheduled for Tuscaloosa on April 19. The two events coincided last year as well, but that didn't stop the Crimson Tide from drawing a record crowd of 92,138.
The spring practice schedule is less than ideal for another reason as well. March 13 is also the opening day of the SEC basketball tournament.
