ACC and SEC have lifted their Satelite ban, and are allowed to travel around the country doing them. Stuffs about to get crazy

The ban also shouldn't have passed, though.

The PAC-12 officials voted 11-1 against the ban, but because their rep to the Division I council was already the one AD (UCLA) that cast the opposite vote, he voted instead in his own interests and thus misrepresented the conference's wishes at the actual vote. The Sunbelt rep did something similar and cast a vote against the conference's wishes.

Instead of the 10-5 for ban to later be enacted, it should actually have been 8-7 against a ban being enacted.

Once that came out publicly (along with the DOJ informally beginning to investigate), the NCAA pretty much had to cancel going through with the ban.

I am confused there was only 2 conferences that would have changed their vote - that is 8-7 FOR the ban.

Whatever competitive advantage that was there for JH is going to be gone very quickly.

The sad part is that this only really benefits young men in certain areas of the country. Folks acting like this is a big benefit for many don't realize all the action will be in a handful of states. It does nothing for smaller colleges or players in most of the states in the U.S.

Power 5 conferences get 2 votes each. So the 10-5 vote in favor becomes 8-7 in favor if the PAC vote is "corrected," and that becomes 7-8 against if the Group of 5 conference (Sunbelt) changes its mind as well. Which is what happened.

Actually, there is a secondary benefit that we don't see down here, but is more common up in B10 country.

It goes like this: when one of the B10 schools has a camp near its home (unlike Michigan this spring), it often invites one or two of the MAC schools to show up and have their camp at the same place, same time. So high school players who show up for the Wisconsin thing also get exposure to, say, Central Michigan. If they don't get an offer from the big school, they still might from the smaller one. This travel ban not only nixed Harbaugh going to Florida, it stopped those shared camps, as well.

So there is some benefit to kids outside the hot recruiting states of FL, GA, LA, TX, and CA. Especially the kids who might not quite be good enough to make it into a Power 5 program.

Man, I'm loving it. We can poach Ohio and Texas even more effectively than Harbaugh can poach Florida, I'm thinking. :good!:

If Harbaugh sets up a satellite camp in the Bayou, they will still be looking for him 20 years from now.

Ha! What do we gotta do to help him get one going? There's something about that guy I just don't like. He looks a little Kennedy-esque. Pushy fellow, too.

If I recall correctly, one if the factors in the original decision was the threat of the SEC unleashing their resources into satelite camps. I would be shocked if we don't see us and the rest of the SEC go on a natiowide tour of these camps.

GO VOLS!

The votes from Power 5 conferences (Big 10, Big 12, SEC, ACC, PAC-12) count double compared to the Group of 5 conferences in the current voting system/structure that the FBS uses for these matters.

So with the PAC-12's 2 votes and the Sunbelt's 1 vote, it should have been 8-7 against the ban had the representatives actually voted for what their members told them to vote for.

@Mansell247: HUGE NEWS for @TheMVPCamps !! Last one of the year will have 90% of college programs in Ga. there on Sunday June 5th https://t.co/FlnFamXb75


This is why the NCAA needed to allow these things.


It helps kids of all levels
