I strongly agree with this - The Atlanta area is a fertile recruiting bed for USC FB in recent years. This Franklin dude is rustling mah jimmies....

DESTIN, Fla. (AP) — Southeastern Conference football coaches want the NCAA to close a loophole that allows schools to take part in out-of-state summer camps with high school prospects.
Penn State and new coach James Franklin caused a stir down south when it was announced earlier this month that the Nittany Lions' staff would be working with prospects at Georgia State's camp in Atlanta on June 10.
NCAA rules prohibit schools from running camps out of state more than 50 miles from their campus. Penn State's presence at Georgia State's camp doesn't break the rule because the Nittany Lions are considered guests of the Panthers' staff.

Just another reason for me to hate the guy.

I don't really have anything good to say about Franklin.

Yep. Although, elite Georgia prospects leaving the state is nothing new.

I'm definitely in a minority as a UT fan, but I've always liked James Franklin. Guy has some charisma and fire in him.

This doesn't give me reason to hate Franklin. Big 12 schools do this all the time in Texas. Oklahoma has a camp in Texas every year.

State legislature needs to threaten to shut both of these camps (ND and PSU) down. I doubt they have a legitimate legal basis currently, but a threat to cut some funding for a public institution should hit home. I can't imagine how this helps Georgia (the state, not UGA) at all.
Since that's extremely unlikely, SEC schools and ACC schools in the Southeast should stop scheduling GSU until this practice stops.
If neither of those happen, I don't think there should be a panic. How many top tier kids from the Southeast would seriously consider going to ND/PSU over a UGA/USCe/UF/Bama/AU/LSU/FSU/Clemson? Very few. I would guess that number will remain unchanged even in the light of these two camps.
Those who should really be worried IMO are Ole Miss, Miss St, UT, Kentucky, Vandy, Georgia Tech, etc.
