Even as an SEC fanboy, I look forward to the next way Harbaugh will troll the SEC.

Bear Bryant weeps.

If the NCAA were smart, they would organize/coordinate/oversee camps throughout the country, invite any coach/school who wanted to attend/participate, provide academic as well as athletic assessments of prospective student-athletes in a variety of sports.

It's just a matter of time until Harbaugh finds another loophole.

One suggestion I saw earlier today on Twitter: International waters.

Ok, so the schools can't host the camps, but what will they say if Papa or Brother Harbaugh decide they want to have football academies in Atlanta and Miami and happen to hire a few Michigan coaches to work it?

I love that the SEC got so mad about this that they cried to the NCAA, and was there ever any doubt the NCAA back the SEC?

"Additionally, FBS coaches and noncoaching staff members with responsibilities specific to football may be employed only at their school's camps or clinics. This rule change is effective immediately.

What, you expect me to actually read?

Our guy says the recruits wind up losing in this.

NCAA bans satellite camps made popular by Penn State, Michigan, and others; why it hurts prospects like Alex Barbir

 

[wicked]

Just hire some Michigan alums close to the program instead.

Harbaugh is an ass, but he's an intelligent one. He'll find another loophole.

I loved how the initial outcry over this was how the poor student athletes were losing their spring break by having to go to these spring camps in Florida. Think it was the SEC commissioner who floated this.

Not sure how he kept a straight face when arguing how a free trip to Florida over spring break was so horrible for these players.

Can't wait for him to argue how conference and NCAA basketball tournaments shouldn't be held over spring break. Those poor basketball players.

 

[dixiehack]

This isn't the same thing. This deals with camps for high schoolers, not guys already on your roster.

 

[BurnsWhenIPee]

Since I'm obviously not smart enough to actually know what I'm talking about, lemme pull an Emily Litella and say "never mind."

 

[jr/shotglass]

At least you didn't think they were working out on, you know, a satellite.

Didn't a lot of posters' grandparents meet at Sputnik camp?
