So a local kid that would otherwise commit to ODU...see's that Syracuse/UConn/Temple is having a "satellite" camp near/around ODU...he attends and really likes what he sees from the coaches and commits/signs/plays for them. How can you be in favor of something like that?
Yes thats one possibility. It could also happen the other way. Another possibility is a kid gets noticed and gets a scholarship that otherwise may have not have had a chance to. Someone succeeding in life and getting an opportunity they may not have had means more than rooting for a sports team.
If a kid (a Syracuse/UConn/Temple-commit) lives in the ODU area there's a good chance are he's already familiar with ODU's coaches/program/facilities etc and probably already has offers/visits from ODU. With these other schools (Syracuse/Temple etc.) setting up their satellite camps near/around ODU, it's not going to help ODU. It's only going to benefit the other schools.
The risk/reward ratio is not good.
