“There have been no specific guidelines relative to how we’re controlling this stuff”.

During a fist-pounding rant, Saban said satellite camps aren’t regulated, which could be detrimental to schools and prospective players.
“It’s bad for college football”, Saban said Tuesday, according to ESPN. I feel very safe in saying that no other coach would go at Saban the way that Harbaugh did. I’m not saying anything bad about him, if he thinks that’s what’s best.
I’ll get to the rest of the actual football reasons this camp shouldn’t happen in a second, but let’s take a moment to consider the moral implications of associating with a university that was just found to have hosted one of the most disgusting NCAA scandals ever. Burress was a Spartan when Nick Saban was coach, so it’s easy to see why he might have two reasons (both defending Saban and a distaste for Michigan) to join the social media smack talk. Being around other coaches, high school coaches, grade school coaches, college coaches, pro coaches. And much in the way that we’ve seen one presidential candidate take to Twitter to call out his detractors, Michigan’s head coach took to Twitter to express himself.
Mike Leach is a big proponent of satellite training camps in NCAA football.
I think you do, too.
“This is the Wild, Wild West at its best”, said Saban, who has notably landed a top-10 recruiting class nearly every year he’s been in Tuscaloosa.
“I’m glad they’ve come around and I look forward to it”, he said. The integrity of the game. We start working and making sure that our players are doing the right things with our strength and conditioning coaches, our academic people, with the limited number of meetings that we’re allowed to have with them.
Division I coaching staffs can participate as “guest coaches” at various camps around the country following the NCAA’s reversal of an earlier ban on satellite camps. He and his MI program are set to hold a series of satellite camps in the Southeast and beyond in the coming month.
Justified or not, the SEC still has sour grapes over the sudden spread of satellite camps across college football, and the latest head coach to voice his displeasure was Alabama’s Nick Saban.
Harbaugh has quickly earned a reputation as somebody willing to speak his mind online, even if it means firing shots at coaching colleagues.
“This is the only sport where the high school still mattered”, Saban said, via AL.com.
“You gotta do what you gotta do”, Smart said.

Harbaugh knows there is a clear advantage in hosting satellite camps and we shouldn’t expect that to change anytime soon unless the NCAA officially puts an end to the camps.
