Those camps don't carry nearly the weight of something like AAU.

Not in public knowledge maybe. But in recruiting and making a high school player elite and recruit able, they’re on the same level

The FBI is involved because of the apparel company issue. The shoe companies don't have nearly as much influence on football.

It wouldn’t surprise me if organized crime is heavily involved behind the scenes. The mob never went away, they just found new ways to make money.

Again, I don't agree simply because of the nature of the two sports. The shoe companies get involved more heavily in basketball because the players are essentially auditioning for the pros for a year. College is a layover. It's simply not the same in football because they are stuck for 3 years. So much can change during that time that it doesn't make as much sense for Adidas or Nike to get in deep with individual players.
