NCAA Cannot Make up their mind

[Scott Marshall]

The NCAA Division I Board of Directors scrapped a proposed ban on satellite camps Thursday, rebuffing a request from powerhouse conferences in the South and clearing the way for coaches to hold and work at clinics far from their campuses this summer.

The decision won't end the debate that centered on whether the camps are just another recruiting tool: The board also asked the Division I Council to conduct a broad assessment of the entire college football recruiting model in coming months, and that could bring modifications to how the camps are run and who can take part.

They should treat those camps like AAU viewing periods. Coaches on one sideline away from players and parents. All they can do is evaluate kids, can't talk to them, can't "coach" them. The main argument I heard against banning them had to do with kids losing an opportunity to be viewed. Fine, then allow coaches to view them play, but they can't get involved and actually verbally communicate with the kids while at these camps. I think that's about as fair as you can make it.
