COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Maybe Urban Meyer was just in a Florida mood because he was hanging out in the state he once called home. Or maybe he really wants to give the Buckeyes a taste of Florida in March.

At a recent charity golf event organized by his former Florida quarterback, Tim Tebow, Meyer told a television reporter that he was thinking about bringing Ohio State football to Florida for a few days of spring practice next year.

Jim Harbaugh took Michigan to Florida for four days of spring practice in late February, a new move that shook up college football.

Meyer had been asked about some of Harbaugh's unique recruiting ideas but hadn't ever specifically discussed whether he'd be open to moving spring practice for a few days.

"I think it's creative," Meyer told Sara Perlman of WUFT-TV. "I'm looking into it for next year and maybe the future, too. It's creative and if it's good for the players, we'll probably do it."

Meyer said he was concerned about taking away spring break for the players, which has been expressed elsewhere.

Perlman posted the video on her Twitter account on Tuesday, but it appears the interview may have taken place on Saturday as Meyer played in Tebow's golf event in St. Augustine, Florida.
