Breaking News: Satelite camps shut down immediately

[tometom]

as far as the rule itself, i don't really care.

the next rule they need to change which is what some of you are saying is that they should just change the Official Visit Rules. Say a kid could take his Official Visit to a school to coincide with their camp.

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.

Umm, you might want to check out who is actually on this committee.

And @ people thinking they can just go around the rule again. Please do it, pretty please!

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:

I believe you missed the point of the article - the camps didn't hurt Alabama or Auburn.

I know it didn't. The point of the article is that it hurts UAB, USA, etc. I am saying I don't think Michigan taking 2 kids total really hurts those schools either. They will still get the leftovers from Alabama and Auburn who want to stay near home. It does make a good point about it being a benefit for the student athlete, though.

While we're worrying about the little guys, though...

 

[4down20]

Ummm, that's exactly what the issue was, how could anyone not realize it?

The point of the article is that while everyone wants to believe it's hurting Alabama and Auburn, the reality is that it doesn't hurt them, it hurts the smaller schools.

PS: It's funny how just 1 or 2 kids doesn't matter now, but the 1 or 2 kids mattered a whole bunch when it was the other way around.

Biased much?

Because the MWC and Sun Belt teams benefit from being able to be a guest at P5 camps, so they voted against their own self-interest.

So they think all college football schools vote on this?

I don't give a crap if Nebraska is able to do it...like you say, it's 1-2 kids. We've gotten 1. I think that the benefits for the student athletes outweigh the perceived inconvenience of SEC coaches making millions of dollars.

No, but the MWC and Sun Belt conferences voted against the measure, along with the ACC, SEC, PAC, and Big 12.

cry more.

 

[oaknightshockey1]

cry more.

Let's see...helps high school kids? Check. Helps smaller schools? Check. Provides marginal benefits to schools not in talent rich areas? Check. I don't see a whole lot of negatives, aside from Saban et al don't like it. Amazing how fast this was taken care of, though. Meanwhile, Drew Ott still doesn't know if he can play another year or not. Because the NCAA is all about the kids.

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

Sounds like the leveled the playing field for all schools. Good move if you ask me.

If it wasn't hurting Alabama and Auburn, why were SEC coaches so up in arms about it?

 

[Bandwagonbo2]

Because the SEC has a rule against them and it created a disadvantage for SEC schools. They petitioned the SEC to change the rule if the NCAA did not rule against the satellite camps as it does give an unfair advantage to other conferences. Thats all the SEC coaches wanted was the ability to do as others were given the opportunity to do. Do you think its right they had an unfair advantage? Now due to Harbaugh they no longer have that advantage at all. Guess its time to be pissed at him huh?

Forever the B1G has had much tougher rules on oversigning than the SEC, and all the SEC hacks could say was, "Too bad your rule sucks." If a rule needed to be changed, it was the SEC rule, not the NCAA rule.

And the NCAA looked at this rule overall and did what was best for all schools. This helps the little schools as well as the big schools. The bullshit rules your conference has on recruits is on your conference. the NCAA limit is 25 for all schools per year and if your conference has rules that do not allow for that to happen, then thats on your conference, much like the SEC was going to modify its rules on satellite camps if the NCAA did not make its ruling favorable for all schools one way or another. Seems like this was about satellite camps and you are now making it about recruiting. Goal post move?

 

[Gator]

......It's really quite an absurd rule and the only people against it, were those in a talent rich state who felt threatened.

In other words, the rest of the country OUTSIDE the B1G since the other 4 P5 conferences voted against it!
