It only hurts the student athlete. But that is what the NCAA always tries to do.

all i think this is is the ncaa being afraid to govern the scc conference because they dont want an compatition

It only hurts the kids whose parents can afford to haul them around the country for camps. Stupid ruling by the NCAA and those six conferences. 2 that wanted to stop it and 4 who can't afford to do

This is proof that the SEC and ESPN are ruling College Football, and not in a good way. There are a lot of kids in the South that live in real poverty. They can't afford to go anywhere to Camp more than a short drive from home. Which is how the SEC and ACC like it.

Mike Leach said it best. The only reason anyone would want them banned is either they're lazy or they're selfishly guarding their recruiting area.

Seems they want the SEC ACC to have every advantage available?

Anything that limits the opportunities for student athletes is a move in the wrong direction by the NCAA, and this limits opportunities. In addition, with official paid JR year visits not available yet, it is difficult for NU to get players onto campus until their SR year, which can be too late.

What's wrong with giving young men exposure to opportunities?

it does not help potential student athletes, especially those without the money to travel. Another door slams in the face of the lower income. A compromise between no camps and going wild with camps should have been reached.

Where is the democratic process. How about conducting a panel of all conferences to see if it is a viable option to create a bit more parody among them. Rather, let the powers that may be; ie SEC- inparticular Alabama Nick Saben...who, o BTW have 2 private jets to use to go after 4/5 star HS athlete

Underprivileged high school kids' exposure will be diminished or limited to just those universities in their region, and will not see additional opportunities/offers from other outside universities.

The only reason this has happened is that the SEC is trying to protect its territory at the expense of the student-athlete. The SEC wants to cherry pick and leave the also rans scrambling for schools to attend,

It's difficult to grasp how a regulation or restriction imposed from the top down can improve competition and help the quality of play. But that's not what they had in mind, of course.

Did the NCAA indicate why this was in the best interest of the Student-Athlete? Satellite camps provided more opportunities for the Student Athlete to gain exposure to coaches and programs they otherwise wouldn't. This is the SEC tail wagging the NCAA dog, protecting its 'turf'.

For northern schools, it is a chance to have greater visibility in the warmer climates. The southern schools do not want to lose recruits to the northern schools running camps in their back yard!

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
