Here's the deal...these P5 schools have a LOT more money than NON-P5 schools so they can afford to wh*re themselves out w/ these satellite camps wherever they please...meanwhile, schools that don't have the money to go and setup camp wherever they want aren't going to be able to benefit from this ruling.

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.

I definitely see your side of the argument. My position is more for the benefits of the kids getting a chance they may not have had otherwise.

I'm not sure you understand how satellite camps work.

You can not host an out of state satellite camp, you can only be "guest coaches" at that camp. For example, Southern Miss can work with say Samford, and be guest coaches at a camp in Birmingham, but they can't go to Hoover High School and start their own camp.

An Out of State P5 can't walk into hattiesburg and host a camp at the local High School. It just doesn't work like that. Now, you guys could invite Michigan to come be "guest coaches" at your camp, and they'd gladly come down, but they can't just show up.

This works the other way around too. When a P5 school like Alabama hosts a camp, 300 plus prospects are going to show up. The Tide can't offer all 300, and 99 percent of those players are not going to be near the caliber of Bama, but they all believe they are, so they show up anyway. The Tide instead go out and bring in a couple of G5's and FCS schools to be guest coaches at the camp. The G5 and FCS schools get a first hand look at a bunch of players, and likely walk away with plans to offer two or three guys.

Arkansas State signed 14 High School Kids last class. 12 of those were discovered at out of state satellite camps, and would never have camped with us otherwise. We're participating in 12 satellite camps this year alone...and that doesn't count the 4 instate camps we're allowed to host on our own.

TXST was going after FSU, Oregon and Oregon State coaches to attend ours and he was set to be at UTs camp (and possibly others). One is to entice better prospects to ours and the other is to possibly bring in someone UT isn't interested in. (not "good enough" or not a need position.)
