Players are starting to speak up on twitter about satellite camps with the hastag #ChangeNCAA

Submitted by Maizen on

Lots of basklash from Michigan, MSU, OSU, Iowa, Illinois etc. players and a ton of recruits against the NCAA. Seems like the SMSB camp really meant a lot to them and they're pissed it's over now with the banning of satellite camps.

For those on twitter it's worth checking out. Jourdan Lewis seemed to be the player who started it.

 

We can't let the NCAA do this. Everybody get #ChangeNCAA trending. They think they're hurting Coach but they're really hurting the kids.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone was brave enough to do it anyway.
In my dream scenario someone does these camps anyway and when sanctions are placed on them, refuse to comply. Also, after refusing to comply and getting banned, teams play them anyway and the bowl game still invites them.

Like I said....it's a dream.

Obviously the NCAA would probably sanction us, but what if we one upped them again and made a real scene about how the NCAA is once again grasping at east stuff when they're allowing convincted cheaters in Syracuse and UNC to continue unimpeded. I'd have to think we'd win the PR battle there, no? In that game of chicken, I wonder who folds first

Let's face it, we can't change this stupid rule, but if anyone can it's the kids. It is really nice seeing a team leader doing this too. Great job $ec and NCAA, coach doubled our win total last year when he was happy, just wait and see what he does this year when he is angry and ready to work even harder. We all know he isn't taking June off, I can't wait to see what he does next.

This may be one of those moments that ultimately cause long lasting changes.

 

1. This may help Harbaugh and Michigan indirectly. It may have that hard to measure positive word-of-mouth. 

2. It may lead to inadvertent BAD things - I'm not a big basketball fan, but aren't there criticism that there are groups that run defacto scouting camps because the rules limit what a coach can do officially? These in turn are unregulated and rife with accusations of influence peddling. Could this happen to football? Anytime there is a lot of money to be made someone will think of a way.

Great quote by the way!

Wow, and this guy jumped over 3 people in a dunk contest?

Jourdan, Ty Wheatley, Dylan M., and Harbaugh...PLEASE get this kid to A2 in a Michigan uniform!

He's the type of guy who was going to get a look no matter what, but he is still taking a stand for his peers.  I have a lot of respect for him putting it on the line like this.  Obviously I hope he chooses Michigan but I get the sense that no matter where he goes, he is going to succeed.

Such a lame point of view on Shaw's part.  Well, guys, it doesn't help Stanford so who cares about the kids getting opportunities to go to other schools. I did not expect that from him to be honest.  Of course I am slightly biased because its Harbaugh that made this a phenomenon but realistically, any coach with any sort of morals should be able to understand the exact thing Hill had stated if it is really about the kids and it SHOULD be about dem kids.

That's not what Shaw said.  The quote is taken out of context and WD just posted the tweet without following up at all.  Here is Shaw's quote:

"I'm great with whatever college football says, because it doesn't affect us," Shaw said when asked about satellite camps after Saturday's spring game. "It doesn't make sense for us to go hold a camp some place where there might be one person in the entire state that's eligible to get into Stanford."

He's saying that satellite camps aren't useful to Stanford, which seems clearly true, not that no one should do them.
