NCAA Bans All Satellite Camps Effective Immediately
- Thread starter jedwar
- Start date
Probably what Cal was doing before the NCAA changed the deadline date. It's irrelevant though, unless they just want to make sure Cal doesn't do his own anymore, as nobody else was doing it.
Football camps; SEC didn't like Harbaugh having one down in Florida. You don't cross the SEC in football.
It was a really creative idea by Harbaugh!. I was waiting for a series of SEC camps in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey which would feature the SEC coaches , players and cheerleaders. that would really screw up big 10 recruiting! The big Ten is lucky the NCAA shut the remote camps down.

Joe Castiglione said it "was a very close vote" within Big 12 on satellite camps. OU voted to keep them. Big 12 as whole did not

It wasn't Harbaugh that came up with it. PSU had one at Georgia State in Atlanta last summer. So Franklin may have been the one who came up with it. Harbaugh made a bid deal about having one at IMG academy this summer, made a sarcastic remark to Freeze and Smart about it. Now its shut down, not quite as smug tonight I would guess.
Oh man, great buy. The least that I have seen for a nice copy was pretty steep so you got a real deal.
Ralph Beard was the man. Big Blue fans talk about Tyler Ulis now (rightfully so), but Ralph brought 2 championships.
My take is that the ban hurts unknown kids more than anything else, but I think I get the point of the ban,
Overall, I'd a) limit the number a school could have to say 5/yr to prevent the wealthy from overpowering the not so, & b) limit a kid to one camp per school & maybe 3-5 total. Also, kids don't have to pay to attend, just cover expenses. Don't know how I'd decide who gets into the camps to assure unknowns get a shot. Perhaps limiting the number a guy can attend does that to some degree.

Arkansas had already made plans for a camp at Jerry World. Invite 100 kids and allow other coaches there to see the lesser-known kids. They could benefit by getting a scholarship to a Troy, Murray State, or Eastern. Now some will go unnoticed.
Thats BS being spilled by the Big10 schools. Any kid who wants to play in college in the southeast gets that opportunity if he wants it and his HS coach isn't a deadbeat. There are 4 FBS programs in Georgia, 6 FCS programs an NAIA and a JUCO. Florida probably has more than that. The only thing it does is keep the Big10, or other conferences from coming in and sitting up shop in someone's backyard. All the southern states have multiple small colleges like you mentioned and almost all of them have connections with HS coaches in said states. They know none of the southern teams are going to waste resources to set up a camp in one of the northern states because they aren't enough kids to make it worthwild. The kicker from PSU who was very outspoken on the rule change had offers from UGA, GT, AU, it wasn't like he didn't have any offers and good choices. I said it would be stopped at the next meeting, but they took it even farther than I expected by canceling those already scheduled. Kind of backfired, now UM and Harbaugh have a free week in peak recruiting season because kids have already made plans to camp elsewhere, or they are scrambling trying to get something set up.
