HUGE setback for recruiting

Once again, the big programs ruin it for the small guys. Satellite camps were a great way to let kids in other areas of the country know Wyoming was an option for continuing their football career. In a perfect world, I wish the NCAA would ban these camps for P5 schools, while letting smaller FBS programs still operate them (they could even make rules saying they must be a certain distance from other conference members, etc.)
 
The MW voted against satellite camps??? The hair has to go!

Aint surprised by the news...then again, I never am surprised.

Safe bet it has to do with Michigan having a camp in Florida which pissed off the SEC turds!
 
This has nothing to do with Wyoming. We don't hold spring camp in Florida or California or Texas. This isnt talking about HS camps you have on your campus, it's about having camps where your actual team is practicing elsewhere, case in point Michigan .

Sure about that?

The NCAA has shut down satellite camps, effective immediately, with a ruling Friday by the Division I Council that requires FBS programs to conduct all clinics at school facilities or facilities regularly used for practice or competition.

These are the camps that we've run in Oklahoma the last few years, no?
 
When has Wyoming been sending down the football team to practice in Oklahoma or hold any kind of organized activity for that matter?

These aren't about sending teams anywhere. These aren't camps as in training camp. They are high school camps used often times for recruiting.

We aren't having practice. We are holding camps down in Oklahoma. This outlaws that. It says clinics not practices. Now we can only hold football camps/clinics on campus.
 
Maybe this will be nothing other than just another excuse that our pathetic athletic department can use as to why we continually get our asses kicked? Hey, doing more with less after all!

Hell, if it's not the weather, location, size of community, school colors, facilities, history, competition, coaches, president, mineral funds, etc., etc., it has to be that satellite camps are now against the rules.
 
Calpoke, Wyoming has been conducting camps in OK. This will ban any out of state camps we've done. This has everything to do with us

News to me. I still fail to see why this is a huge deal since it is universal across the NCAA. You can either recruit well or not, hopefully this doesn't become an excuse. This shouldn't be an issue.

It must have been a huge deal since they banned it and Saban was crying about Michigan. It works both ways. If it wasn't a big deal, why would they ban it? What's easier? Asking 100 Okies to come to a Wyoming camp in Laramie or go down there to meet them and hold a camp?
 
Give me hell Leach. Now if 100 or so other coaches will start having an opinion like papa Shy and Mike leach, maybe smaller schools will find their voices.
 
This will get a change. Some schools, like Hawaii, need to do this. Knee jerk reaction on the ncaa's part. There will be to much litigation if they don't change the rule. Sometimes I wonder if institutions like the ncaa forget to have a lawyer read things over first.
