My thought is that he doesn't necessarily need a satellite camp, he needs exposure to other programs which he would get if coaches could work other camps. That way he could at least he could camp at UM, EMU, and Toledo, and maybe some other places within a day's drive, and get more exposure.

I hope there is an outcry over this by the non-P5 institutions. They probably have to pay some dues to the NCAA. They should collaborate and withhold their dues until the ruling is changed. Maybe ruling that satellite camps must be kept in-state would address the issue. Or, at the very least, let coaches work other camps. The NCAA kind of nuked the issue which they did not need to do.

Nonsense: it's pity porn. Ok, let's say this kid doesn't get a FOOTBALL scholarship. Someone WILL get that football scholarship. It's a zero-sum game. So in order to sell a desire (SATELLITE camps), they're going to wrap a story around a kid from a family that has sent two kids to OUT OF STATE colleges and found it unaffordable? That's not even GOOD pity-porn.


I wish this kid well as I would all kids but don't make me try to pity someone with all the advantages of this kid. Get to a local camp. Make the sacrifice. Study more. Make the sacrifice. Go to a less expensive University. He has so many solutions that do not require a satellite camp OR a football scholarship.

I'm with you. If the kid is a great football player, SOMEONE will find him whether he is going to camps or not. Athletes did for years before anyone ever thought of having satellite camps.

It's not he's hiding out at Detroit King High School. It's one of the better football programs in the State of Michigan. After the college recruiters stop be Cass Tech, they drive over to King to check out the football team.
