NCAA Bans Satellite Camps

Schools must conduct camps at their own facilities?  Okay, all M-sanctioned events are held in Ann Arbor.

 

Coaches may be employed only at their school's camps?  So they volunteer then.  If the remote camp held by, say, a high school had our coaches participate as volunteers/guests, and were not compensated as employees, it seems like the loophole still exists, no?

 

Harbaugh always knew this one was coming. So he hit as many last year as he could. No doubt in my mind that he already has the next loophole lined up. Can't wait to see what comes next.

 

What would happen if Michigan ignored them and still held a camp? Would there be sanctions, etc.?

The NCAA can go suck a fuck.

When will this rule go into place?

Can't you just picture the middle aged generic white male, arriving home to a quiet house, dropping his keys on the glass table, pausing in the moment to stare the middle distance.  He has a lot on his mind.  The wife appears in the background, blurry, then clear and anxious.  She doesn't know yet what happened.  He steps toward her, not looking her in the eye, his pace quickening as he closes the distance.  Now he catches her gaze, but can't maintain it.  He needs to hold her. 

"We did it...", eyes moistened and gleaming over with the white light of mid-day, "we thought of the children."   She collapses in his arms as they allow themselves to surrender to the tears which only their struggle - their very personal struggle - can bring. 

Fuck the SEC & ACC

Oh, one more thing:

One person gets worked in every major winner/loser decision of this sort. He is the gift that keeps on giving (away). 

Fire Jim Delany.

Well, glad they're taking a bold step in preventing kids from having exposure to coaching outside their local area. Obviously, the benefits to the kids is clear and doesn't require description. But it definitely exists and this definitely isn't a move to appease the SEC overlords.

the SEC feels threatened and just like THAT the NCAA caves...the deck continues to be stacked in favor of the SEC

now they can get back to their five year and counting UNC investigation that will never be ruled on.

Shouldn't the NCAA be worried that their unpaid, amateur student-athletes are actually STUDENT-athletes first before they worry about shit like satellite camps? The fact that UNC and Syracuse were in the Final Four this year shows they're not doing their jobs.

None of this will matter in the long run. When they pass these kind of rules it makes the ballsy coach look good in the eyes of the recruits.

What's the bid deal, it is just recruiting. But of course, the SEC doesn't like it's Michigan and Harbaugh, and because we are stealing recruits from down south. And because the SEC doesn't like it, of course the NCAA gets rid of them.

Yes, let's go ahead and ban something that is helping a lot of people and only slightly inconveniencing a few coaches in a geographically advantageous region.

What a dumb, craven decision that amounts to cutting off one's nose to spite the face.  Is Harbaugh irritating you?  Fine, but don't compromise something that would be a benefit to you, too just because you're irritated by his media exposure.

If nothing else this will help expose that the SEC can effectively just yank the NCAA's leash whenever it wants to.

If anyone had any doubts that the NCAA is ran by and paid off by the SEC, here you go. *eats popcorn eagerly awaiting Harbaugh's tweet*

Of course. This is beyond dumb.
