The problem with putting up camps all over the place is that takes away from any sort of regional mission of the program, and a fantasy that college football is a great opportunity for local boys to get an education.
Plus all those camps and their travel and their flashiness cost money, money that some lawyers would argue should be in the pockets of the players. Another bonus for a coach isn't as big of deal because everyone does that without fanfare, but this was a situation that was all over the news and who knows where it would have ended?
Basically anything that makes the sport seem less like a student organization and more like a ruthless professional league is a bad thing. Once the NCAA loses some lawsuits that may change, it might have to change.
If I'm a fan of a non SEC school, the time for revolution is now. The NCAA wants to keep up this farce and I don't blame them but at the point they design rules to put my school at a competitive disadvantage over those I'm competing against, they no longer deserve to be in charge.
Say what you will but all those big ten, big twelve, pac 12, etc. fans have a right to be pissed in my opinion. I guess at the end of the day, that was really my point.
But at the same time, f**k them.

Uh, the Big 10 makes more money per program than the SEC does in the current system. The ACC is a basketball powerhouse thanks to Power 5 money. The PAC has programs that dominate a number of sports, the death of amateurism would end that.
Basically the opinion of anyone that matters is the status quo is best for them. The only people that have a right to be pissed are players who watch as these organizations tie themselves in knots to avoid admitting the unfairness of the system.

PAC 12 and Big 12 voted against the camp's.

Because the NCAA is strictly a voluntary organization. Hell, the NCAA is made up of "member" institutions - the members are in charge.

Funny when it was the SEC who seemed to sign more (or over signed as many call it), the northern schools didn't have a problem whining about that......even though it was acceptable under the rules as they existed. But the big10 conference would not allow it. Didn't see them applauding the SEC for playing within the rules.......
