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.

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 problem was SEC coaches were not allowed to participate in these camps.
Expect the SEC to eliminate that rule and now SEC coaches can go anywhere they want except Freeze who wants to spend time with his family over recruiting.

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.

I don't think Saban really cares all that much about it. About 100% sure he'd trade satellite camps for the lifting of the Saban Rule limiting coaches from going out and seeing kids all spring.

But that one is apparently a good rule is this one is evil and mean to kids.

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.

What kids want to go to these shitholes in March were there is still snow on the ground..

And honestly only about 20 programs can afford to do these on a regular basis so how long before "the little guy" gets even farther behind the rest of us.

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