I would like to know which ones.  I'm pretty sure they'll get a flood of smaller school coaches; great exposure and experience for them.  However, the drama is if/which 'big time school' coaches choose to attend, and who in the B1G attends.

Agree.  Every MAC school should immediately sign up - that's like 12 right there.  If you are in the Big Sky or Mountain West or whatever you should be at the CA camp etc.   Any coach not in the P5 who doesnt take up this offer is just plain dumb.  In the south there are Sun Belt, Missouri Valley type programs. There will be all sorts of 2/3 stars they never would get exposure to at these camps and this is a no brainer.

Not sure how the hell they are really going to manage that many coaches actually - 50 schools x 2 coaches = 100 bodies.  Coaches might outnumber players at these camps.  I am hoping these coaches are disbursed equally among camps (i.e. 10-15 schools a camp) but i imagine the ones in the deep south are going to overloaded with coaches.

I don't really see any top 25 programs participating but if any do, it sure will be interesting which ones.

So essentially, for those three days we're turning Ann Arbor into the center of the college football universe (as if it wasn't already).

This is not only a smart football move, the Chamber of Commerce or whoever might want to cut him a check... restaurants and hotels are going to be packed.

Nick's grandparents bought him a sandbox and told him he could take it with him anywhere he would like to play. However, Nick was playing in the sand box when his parents told him that he could only play in the sandbox if it is located in his own yard.

Little Jimmy was from very, very, far away and his parents were way cooler than Nick's parents, so they allowed him to take his sandbox anywhere he would like to play so long as he was invited there. So, Jimmy set his sandbox up (by invitation) across the street from Nick's house.

Nick was not very happy about this because Jimmy was actually pretty cool and some of the local kids were more interested in Jimmy than they were in Nick. So, Nick had a bit of a temper tantrum and pitched a fit.

Jimmy saw Nick pitch the fit and decided to totally fuck with him by inviting everyone from all over to bring their sandboxes to his house back home. Jimmy also said that "Kids" who weren't allowed to bring their sandboxes could use his. The End.

I hope that guy on 11W who says he has already sent 9000 emails was joking. They are getting enough of a response that sifting through spam would be a headache.

I still think conference rules in the SEC require that you be within 50 miles of - in this instance - Tuscaloosa for this to be a realizable possibility. The larger point, of course, is that - as a Big Ten fan - you can set up shop wherever and, as we have seen from the ExposureU documents out so far, invite Saban to be the keynote speaker at the, um, session.

I'm pretending that there's a map of the United States with a 50 mile circle around every SEC campus  hanging in the coaches office right now and that every eU event is exactly 1 mile outside of that circle. Bonus points if they managed to find a place exactly 51 miles from Alabama and Auburn campus at the same time.
