So the Justice Dept just threatens to investigate the rule and they cave? Wow!

Makes sense. Why not have athletic camps where you get large pockets of students? For Mizzou, it makes a ton of sense to have a satellite camp in Dallas TX. One of our largest alumni locations behind KC, STL, and Chicago.

Done correctly, it makes alot of sense.

Bielema fixin to eat.

Mainly because it's lunchtime but also because he already had camp deals worked out with Michigan State, Rutgers and Jerry World.

I have no problem with satellite camps, but the argument that they will somehow give kids a chance at a college education they otherwise wouldn't get, is ludicrous.

As far as I know, nearly every school uses nearly every scholarship available to them. Satellite camps or no, the same will be true going forward.

This is an opportunity for schools with thinner talent bases to get into more fertile recruiting grounds. That's fine, but call it what it is.

The SEC should repeal its ban today. If the shite programs want to play this game, we can too, and we do it better than anyone.

We're going to Chicago and Detroit!!!

Would like for us to do one in South Jersey too. Close enough to Philly for PA kids and close enough to NYC for the city area kids and those along the seaboard too.

They just didn't want any distractions while they're investigating Baylor.
