The NCAA stated Football Bowl Subdivision schools must "conduct camps and clinics at their school's facilities or at facilities regularly used for practice or competition." This was the ACC and SEC's way of keeping Big 10 schools from more effectively recruiting in the South.
Not sure why the ACC and SEC always seem to get their way when it comes everything football. I, for one, am tired of hearing about the SEC. What are everyone else's thoughts on this matter.

I don’t think it really affects the SEC much as they will out recruit either way. Most of the top recruits are from Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, and Cali. I was just sick of seeing Harbaugh try to do whatever he wanted. He is almost becoming a side show with all of the stuff he does. It’s crazy how I could love Harbaugh with the Niners to hardly being able to stand him with Mich.

Penn St and Ohio St were setting up camps to visit this summer as well. Iowa St was looking into it too. I think it does affect recruiting for the Northern schools because Harbaugh was able to pick up about 6 or 7 recruits from doing these camps last year. The SEC had limited themselves by passing a Conference ban on partaking in camps more than 50 miles from their campuses. Since they couldn't go into one another's territory, they were having fits about Michigan coming into their territories and doing it.
Full disclosure: I am a Michigan fan (as well as a lifelong Yote fan) so I've been following this pretty closely. Just wanted to start a dialogue to see what others on this board thought.

It did help the northern schools, but the SEC was not allowed to do the camps is why. If they allowed it, Saban and others would do camps right outside of Michigan probably just to spite Harbaugh. I’m impartial to the rule. I really didn’t care either way, but could see how the northern schools would be upset by this.

Would be hilarious to see Michigan or other Big 10 schools buy a chunk of property down south somewhere, open up a small campus, build a practice facility, and skirt the rules of the NCAA again.

Looking more into this, I would have liked them to just let any school use the satellite rather than shut them down. It hurts the smaller school recruits who have a harder time getting recruited.

This new asinine rule is garnering more and more attention nationally. The rule hurts inner city, lower socioeconomic kids more than it hurts Harbaugh. They will be exposed to fewer opportunities to play football now all because Saban, the SEC, and ACC didn't want the Big 10 schools attending camps in their recruiting territory.

The next logical thing to do will be to outlaw college fairs. Schools shouldn't be out recruiting students that don't happen to be on their campus.

Yep. This is blowing back big time in the faces of the SEC and ACC. There is howling out there going on by the G5 schools (who voted in lockstep with the BIG to keep satellite camps) and by those groups that ran camps in the inner cities. I would not be surprised if the NCAA doubled back on this rule. It is a bad rule that hurts the prospective student-athletes.
Of course it wouldn't have been an issue if Jimmy Harbaugh didn't make such a public spectacle of his invasion of the South for recruits. Urban had been doing it for years, just not so public, and it ruffled some feathers but was tolerated.
Big question, are those big time basketball camps still allowed or is this just a football rule?

I am not sure about the ACC, but it was outlawed for SEC to use them per their conference rules. I believe they were looking into possibly reversing the rule when the NCAA disallowed it.

The ACC opposed satellite camps along with the SEC. In fact, I believe I read that the BIG was the only P5 conference who came out in support of satellite camps along with the G5 schools.

Mike Leach, head coach at Washington, said he was surprised the Pac12 voted against it because he was of the understanding most teams in his conference were in favor of the camps. He also stated that for the SEC and ACC it boiled down to laziness... Those old school conference coaches down there don't want to have to give up their vacation months hosting camps. Harbaugh blasted Ole Miss coach, Hugh Freeze, because Hugh said earlier in the week he didn't want to give up his summer vacation time to do more camps... Laziness and fear of the Big10 treading in their territory is the reason for this ban. The NCAA football commissioners are all idiots who bow to the desires of the SEC. Whatever Saban wants, Saban gets.

I was going to quote my earlier posts but you all can just look up to where I said the NCAA is taking too much heat and will back off this ban.
