The NCAA Board of Directors took advantage of a do-over Thursday, overturning a three-week-old ban on satellite football camps that have become a summer staple for Fresno State and other bowl subdivision programs.
The Bulldogs for a third year had scheduled camps in Southern and Northern California, in addition to those on campus. But they and others were in limbo after the Southeastern and Atlantic Coast conferences pushed a measure through the Division I Council that prohibited coaches from holding or working off-campus camps.
It’s more affordable and this allows the universities to come to them.
“It’s most beneficial to the kids and I think that’s why the NCAA had the reversal on it, just because all in all, this helps the kids that can’t afford to travel and go all over the country to go to camps,” said Jimmy Morimoto, the Bulldogs’ director of player personnel.
