The article has a decided Michigan slant. Alabama, and others, have ranged far from what would be considered its natural recruiting territories without the benefit of satellite camps. The four quarterbacks on campus now are from Utah, Oklahoma, California and Texas.

Get out there and hustle for them just like everyone else does, Harbaugh.

Harbaugh:



Wompppp

Ad much as I would like to hate on Harbaugh, he was just doing what Bryant used to do and Saban has done. Don't break the rules, find loopholes and exploit them. So many rules were made to stop Bryant and Saban from gaining their advantages. By the time they made those rules, both had already established themselves as the Kings of CFB and they did not need the loopholes.

Stand by for a rule requiring that an onside kick must touch the ground before the kicking team can recover it.

It's a bull shit article, even worse title.

The SEC has gotten its way as the NCAA approved the proposal to ban college football satellite camps, effective immediately.

Yet it was an ACC proposal.

Just like I do with my taxes.

They wanna tell us that the kids are the real ones hurt in all of this. How hard is it to take a video and upload to YouTube these days? Would be cool if the NCAA would fund some travel money for all high school recruits to go to camps...you know they got the money to do this.

Kinda funny this got shutdown by all of the P5 conferences aside from the B1G. Look at the financials of those schools that said no, many can't afford these things. Look at which SEC coaches were complaining and look at who weren't complaining...speaks volumes. These conferences don't want the SEC schools getting in deeper...

There's a lot they are "trying to tell us" with this whole ordeal.

The way they are trying to spin their narrative, one they laid the foundation for, gets on my nerves. These camps were being held/scheduled in the southeast so they chose to interview southeastern coaches asking them their opinion. The majority questioned the outcome and motive. The way they are constructing the story now is it's the "big bad SEC" despite ...




Building on your point ... the gist of those against this ruling is the opportunity to participate it camps has been eliminated. But, no one bothers to mention these camps were to be be held in major, metropolitan areas—which happen to be home (in or close proximity to) FBS and FCS schools. It's supposed to be giving kids opportunities at other FBS schools—schools whose coaches aren't allowed to visit those camps in the first place.

I'm real curious as to how they are coming to these conclusions on so many kids being left out when the idea of these camps it's in its infantile stage? Conclusions based on what?

 

[TerryP]

The more I think about this ...

I do believe my biggest issue is the one that reads ... "it's about the 'diamond in the rough' players that get overlooked." Bullshit. Your "blue blood" programs are always looking for "blue chip" talent. They aren't combing the fields—which should lead you to thinking about a certain running back recently committed.

There is this thought of mine ... can't say I would have any objections if this new rule covered Power 5 schools only. I can see a good argument that a school like Southern Miss should be able to get with Southern Alabama and have a "mega-camp." But, as soon as that argument comes up we're falling back to the root ... too many FBS schools in the first place.

Sure, they did it for recruiting purposes, but by visiting SEC country, Jim Harbaugh and other coaches expanded the horizons for prospects. Was that so wrong?
