NCAA rescinds ban on satellite camps

The NCAA's controversial ban on FBS satellite camps and clinics has been officially rescinded, according to an official press release from the NCAA.

Although the Division I Council had passed a vote to ban satellite camps earlier this month, the Division I Board of Directors elected to rescind the Council's decision.

The ban was derided by Pat Fitzgerald and other coaches, and the decision had even drawn scrutiny from the Department of Justice.

""It’s clear that the membership has differing views on this subject, and the Council appreciates the Board’s insights into this important issue," Northwestern AD and chair of the Division I Council Jim Phillips said in the NCAA's press release.
