Ohio State football: Grudgingly, Meyer sets up camp in Florida

Ohio State has launched into the controversial realm of satellite football camps, scheduling one at Florida Atlantic University on June 17. But with coach Urban Meyer among those calling for the NCAA to halt them, it might end up being the only satellite camp the Buckeyes ever have.

The Ohio State coaching staff will team up with the Florida Atlantic staff on its home field in Boca Raton, which is within reasonable driving distance for prospects from south and central Florida.

Meyer has said he would rather not schedule a camp away from Ohio Stadium, but with other Big Ten schools doing so — most notably Michigan, which has announced a nine-stop coaches tour — it became a “monkey see, monkey do” situation, Meyer said.
