Breaking News: Satelite camps shut down immediately

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

But you brought up Urban Meyer. With the full knowledge that Harbaugh would be the most likely to abuse this rule.

Wouldn't be a Michigan fan if I didn't try to paint OSU in a negative light somehow.

Which is great..... but again.... as long as kids can be helped out with travel expenses only, then I'm all for it.

The local camps aren't outlawed. The only thing that was outlawed was the coaches couldn't be "guests" at them.

It's funny how much people are talking about "exposure" and all that. When Saban would go to spring highschool practices all these things could be said, but yet they made a rule against that - called the "Saban Rule". Where was the outcry then?

Why isn't everyone crying about this?

"The Saban Rule" Changes the Landscape of the Spring Evaluation Period

Those poor kids right?

It's all stupid, the NCAA can't even prevent kids from getting paid and they're trying to prevent coaches from evaluating and coaching recruits.

You're stance on the rule has nothing to do with the team you follow. I would't like Helton doing it but I wouldn't say Kelly will abuse it just because ND is A rival. Especially in the case of Harbaugh who has proven to be addicted to social media as well as practice unacceptable behaviors i.e. sleep overs etc.... The fact is Harbaugh is the most likely to abuse electronic communications with recruits. The question is do you flip directions and refer to him as a media genius when he abuses this rule you don't condone?

And this is why people think you are a dumbass.

So opponents of the satellite camps...what do the camps hurt? I've listed some benefits. What is the other side of that?

 

[MAIZEandBLUE09]

Because we have real rivalries in the B10 and not ones against Charleston southern?

Yep, that's the reason people think you are a dumbass.

Interesting point, may be the way around this already:

And the NCAA passes another pointless rule. I can't wait to see how Harbaugh counters it.

It's ridiculous that college coaches cannot speak with high school teachers, counselors, and coaches about character & personality issues of potential recruits. The NCAA is a joke!

Yep, that's the reason people think you are a dumbass.

MnB also did a hell of a job not answering my question on his true stance regarding the rule. But this is about Alabamas schedule I guess

Don't have time to list it all right now, I've done so in the past. But what ends up happening is large amounts of competition between schools/coaches and money becomes a big time factor. It makes recruiting extremely shady.

In the end, these camps are just about making money and the coaches were nothing more than headliners for promotions.

Take a peak at 7 on 7 camps for examples.

Harbaugh will visit nationwide campuses incognito as Chief Michi Gumee

Satellite camps hurt UAB, Troy and USA more than Alabama, Auburn

I'm sure UAB's gonna have to shut down their program because of those two players Harbaugh got...oh wait

On the other hand, from your article:

That's a great opportunity for the high school players in this state. They get an up-close-and-personal look at one of the biggest names in coaching and his staff at one of the bigger programs. It's an opportunity many of the players wouldn't have if they had to pay their own way to Ann Arbor.

From the perspective of the high school player, how can you argue against satellite camps?

 

[jdwills126]

Fact: They banned the practice like 10 years ago and this was just a loophole.

Fact2: The camps aren't outlawed.

Saban fluffer!

Oh the bullshit comment stings.

Funny the ruling stated no coaches can be employed at these camps but did not rule may not participate. Otherwise the Sound Mind and Body camps that raise funds for charity stop.

Face it a few bitchy SEC coaches do not want to work that hard is making high school athletes the looser.

NCAA leapt before they looked.

If the NCAA is going to stop camps except those located at the home campus, then the NCAA should allow schools to pay for kids to come to the camps at the home campus. But... allow the school to pay for travel expenses only, no gifts/perks. And of course, limit the amount of camps for which a a kid can receive travel payment --- perhaps five, the same amount as paid official visits.

Pretty simple. Make it legal... perhaps it will help a little bit to stop boosters from illegally paying for kids expenses.

Also, the current rule of making kids wait until their Senior year classes begin (last week of August or early September) as the earliest one can take official trips is a dumb rule. Kids should be allowed to take their official trips as soon as they finish their Junior academic year in June.

Let's support the kids!!!

So opponents of the satellite camps...what do the camps hurt? I've listed some benefits. What is the other side of that?

I know it sucks to shut down the satellite camps... but as I said in my quote above, it's okay to only allow home campus camps, BUT... as long as the NCAA does the right thing and allows schools to help kids get to these home campus camps by allowing assistance with travel expenses.

And as I mentioned in my quote..... the NCAA needs to allow official visits to commence as soon as a kid finishes his Junior academic year in June.

 

[tometom]

curious, anyone find the exact wording on the rule?

Seems to me it's saying the coaches can't be employed, can they still say visit that particular campus on the day of a camp and observe the camp that is going on? or is it always been illegal to visit a campus and just "take a look around"?
