Unless you think the NCAA needs to start letting the 15-17 year olds call the shots.
I think maybe 15 year olds could do a better job than some of the sociopaths in $1000 dollar suits have been doing with this sport.
This may be an SEC thing, but a lot of other conferences voted for it as well. I believe the only P5 not to vote for it was the B1G. The SBC and MWC felt (apparently mostly) that it was also in their best interest.
Now maybe, just maybe, the NCAA thought of this as a way to help level the playing field for D1 colleges. This could really help some G5 and FCS programs. Lets say a player is under the radar and is currently commited to an FCS program, but a big P5 from 1000 miles away comes to a local high school or D2/D3 school and then the commit is on their radar. He maybe seen as a backup or simply has potential, but won't likely start until his junior year (if ever) at the P5. At the FCS school he would be an instant starter and likely get just as good, if not better, education. Which is better for the player/student? Which helps level the playing field?
I have no idea what transpired.
But I do know that the NCAA should not be trying to manipulate players by removing options...whether they are doing it for competitive advantage....or as benevolent despots with good intentions.
Give players access to as many opportunities and choices as are practicable and then let them decide for themselves.
You do realize you he NCAA did not mandate this and that it was supported in a 10-5 vote that consisted of all 129 institutions.
You seem to have a problem with it he democratic voting process and would prefer a dictator versus a voting body.
No prefer that the representatives actually represent.
Blake Anderson is on FCA Board of Directors as the Sun Belt representative. The FCA has asked the board to poll the people they represent to see if there was a consensus so the FCA could make a decision as to whether to take a position. Blake stated today that every Sun Belt coach favored restoring satellite camps.
Oregon has said they favor camps, Oregon State was using them, Stanford after the dust-up the other day has said they are "not opposed to the camps" even though they will not use them. Mike Leach favors the camps and advises coaches to shut up and quit worrying about Jim Harbaugh. Utah defensive coordinator says he wants the camps. Bill Snyder says he has mixed feelings. Wake Forest coach says he favors the camps. Mike Gundy used them at Oklahoma State. Hugh Freeze said he personally didn't want to do them to have more time off but thinks its terrible for G5 coaches especially the assistants because he hires G5 assistants to work his camps and now cannot.
All of the above from leagues that voted for the ban.
Tommy Tuberville predicts the ban will be over-turned by the Board.
Just fun, Andy Staples of SI says the Big 12, Pac-12, Sun Belt and MWC are either stupid, corrupt, or a combination of the two for supporting the ban.
