NCAA bans satellite camps

@moscott, yeah, I think you are right that it bans FBS coaches from attending FBS camps. I guess “working” means “evaluating” within the context of the rule. Andy Staples has an article about this on SI this morning that quotes Urban Meyer and Hugh Freeze (Ole Miss coach) extensively on this point. The article leaves the impression that the banning of G5 coaches from P5 camps was an unintended, or at least un-thought of, consequence of the new rule.

I still haven’t seen anything that applies this outside of the FBS. As bad as this rule will hurt summer recruiting at G5 schools, it will virtually kill summer recruiting at D2 and D3 schools if it is applied to them. None of those schools really have the draw to get kids to their campus in numbers, or the budget to run a group of stringers to go evaluate kids at high school practices/early season games.

I take it from your post that you and your son will be heading to camps this June. Enjoy it. I had a blast with my kid a few years ago. Good luck to him.
