The satellite obviously won't happen. It doesn't even make sense without all the participants being equipped with extravehicular mobility units.

The aircraft carrier is a lot less crazy, but still unlikely. For example, Harbaugh could rent one from the navy and drive it down the coast and around the Gulf, near the hotbeds of recruiting talent.

then that money gets donated to a childen's charity. It would be tough for the NCAA to say "think of the children" when that's where the money is going. The spin is that it's less about the football camp and more about a voluntary effort for charity.

5. Retitle as "Lucrative NCAA-sponsored Basketball Tournament," sell rights to CBS, break into two weeks of action and televise with highly profitable ads sold against it. Profits need not be shared with players, and should be shared directly with NCAA.

 

Shots fired.

Conceal under title "Purdue Recruiting Camp"

Wait, I thought this is what Indiana was already doing, then leading anyone they didn't want to an adjacent facility at "The Institute For Players Who Want To Be Evaluated By A Staff And Get Playing Time". Then again, if that is what was happening, it kind of worked sometimes. I mean, it's something.

Those whacko's will do anything and call it a sport ... do 50 dips with a 45 lb free weight hanging from your ass / then get up and run 10 consecutive 40 yard dashes / then push this sled with 4,000 pounds on it across that parking lot / then do 7 shuttle cone drills without stopping / then broad jump with your partner on your back.  Then take a 30 second break and do it all again, but backwards.

I'd seriously just hold a regular practice on campus with a big old middle finger cut out of wood attached to the top of the Big House pointing in the direction the NCAA offices.
