Jim Harbaugh and Michigan will be just fine.

In a ruling that appeased seemingly nobody outside of a Southeastern coaches’ office, the NCAA Division I council voted Friday to ban its football coaches from attending summer camps away from their campuses. Harbaugh became the poster child for these satellite camps last summer when his carpetbagging tour of the South kicked up a storm of dust around what has been a fairly common practice for a number of schools in the past decade. On Friday, according to ESPN’s Brett McMurphy, the Big Ten was the only Power 5 conference to vote in favor of allowing the camps to continue.
