NCAA reverses course on satellite camp ban
The NCAA Division I Board of Directors voted Thursday to rescind the recent ban on so-called “satellite camps.”
The camps are the result of a loophole in the NCAA rulebook, whereby Football Bowl Subdivision coaches co-host camps with smaller colleges or high schools in places where NCAA rules forbid them from hosting official camps.
Earlier this month, the NCAA Division I Council banned satellite camps, but intense backlash from several coaches — including Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops and Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy — as well as recruits and their families caused the NCAA to reverse course.
