College football coaches and prospective-student athletes upset with the NCAA's recent decision to ban satellite football camps might have a new ally in their fight to get the ruling reversed.
According to a report by USA Today, the United States Department of Justice has begun an informal inquiry into the topic of satellite camps, a term used to describe clinics recruits attend at facilities that are not on FBS programs' campuses. The report says the DOJ has already reached out to college football coaches, conference commissioners and college administrators with the focus of the inquiry on how not having satellite camps diminish access to coaches and scholarship opportunities.
