Satellite Camp Ban Rescinded Comment Count

Brian

The two-sentence rule change that most SEC coaches didn't understand is no more:

A gold star to whoever's running the Alumni Association's account this fine day:

Once the DOJ rattled its saber, even if gently, you had to know that the chance a lawsuit-besieged NCAA would follow through on the band was nil. Especially since it seems like a number of conferences were in favor of the ban despite being, uh, not in favor of it. Even the conferences who meant to vote for it didn't understand the implications of the change, and thus found it hard to defend in public unless they had a smarm black belt like Greg Sankey.

The camp ban is thus done for this year, but don't be surprised if the SEC and ACC come up with a less draconian version of the rule next year. They might limit camps to 5 or something, which wouldn't impact many schools not coached by high-functioning lunatic workaholics.

is in Dothraki.  As odd as it may seem, he is actually asking "when is this seemingly important point of view character going to do anything of minor importance or even tangential relation to the story to justify two long scenes in every episode?"

I ask the same question with the same ferocity every Sunday.

Unfortunately, rules still get in the way of 30 camps.  This presentation outlines camp rules for all sports.  Slide 24 clearly states that only 15 contiguous days in each of June and July can be used for camps.  So, maybe 30 camps - but a one/day clip isn't really going to work.  But I don't see why they couldn't get in 20, or so, split between the two months.

This also blows Freeze's family plans out the window, presuming he had a 30 day vacation planned...
