Utah football: Kyle Whittingham thinks college football is 'oversaturated' with satellite camps

The Utah head coach’s attitude reflects some of the same concerns tight ends coach Fred Whittingham brought to light in April: There’s way too many camps and campers to sort out in any concise way. Utah’s own brand recognition may not draw top-level recruits that Michigan or UCLA might bring in, for example, and by the time June is over, the Utes may have seen literally thousands of prospects — but only a handful who could truly ever play at Utah.

The constant flying in and out of camps is also a drain during what technically is a "quiet period" during the NCAA recruiting calendar.
