No. But Michigan fans paraded around the fact they had camps in Alabama and signed a half-dozen kids from the state was irritating. Plus, the notion they were offering these "poor kids" better opportunities than their home state could was self righteous bullshite.

Must be pretty tough to argue that you are offering poor under educated kids a great chance to learn, simultaneously arguing that you are some great institution with amazing students and true student-athletes.

I do like the rule change with regards to recruiting advantages. But I would lime to see them tweak it to allow schools to practice at another college. I think a week of dual squad practices would be great for both teams and coaches. In addition to promoting sportsmanship which is a keystone of the NCAA ideology.

Harbaugh will have to cancel his rapey sleepover with Art Briles in Waco.
What a shame!
What a shame!

Harbaugh should feel special.
Up until now, only Saban had a specific NCAA rule passed in his honor; now we have the "Saban Rule" and the "Harbaugh Rule".
Suck on it, Jimmy.

They're doing that shite on FB right now. It doesn't matter what site, they are acting like they were getting a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Pac 12, ACC, Big 12 also voted against the satellite camps. But the SEC is taking the media hit for ending this. I get the SEC led the charge but it seems like everyone else, for the most part, agreed with the SEC.

I think Saban thinks it is dumb and has no value but I don't think he did much of anything to curtail it (as opposed to the fast play stuff).
Perhaps he recognized that if he came out against satellite camps, then everyone else would be for them. That's essentially what happened with the "fast play stuff."
"If Saban wants the rules changed, it can't be good" was the argument many people made at that time.

Good. Keep the Yankee schools out of SEC country, and keep all of your sorry asses out of Texas.

FWIW, the MWC and Sun Belt also voted against them.

I think the NCAA got this one wrong. They obviously didn't think all of this through. It's a no-brainer to deny Michigan the ability to have camps in Florida, but it makes absolutely no sense to deny a school the ability to have camps within its own state.
A lot schools have "mini" or combine type camps at a cost of $30-$50. This gets kids exposure at a low cost. A kid from Houston can go to 4 or 5 of those in June and get lots of exposure relatively cheap.
Otherwise you have to add travel costs and overnight accommodations which limits the number of camps.

HS players in Houston can be at a camp in College Station in 1 1/2 hours.
I am glad the NCAA put the lid back on a big can of worms.

And if the kid who goes to the camp at A&M isn’t good enough to play at A&M, then what? Previously, coaches from SFA, Texas State, Rice, SMU, North Texas, Sam Houston, etc. could and would all go to the A&M camp hoping to find a kid that could play but probably wasn’t good enough for A&M. Now, those coaches can’t go to the camp to find this type of player, so the kid is SOL.
The narcissism of the SEC is fascinating, the only people who get hurt with this rule are the kids themselves. But the SEC doesn’t really care about that.
