“I don’t know how much it benefits anybody because all the people that say this is creating opportunities for kids, this is all about recruiting”, Saban said.

Alabama recently sent offensive analyst Mike Locksley to a camp in Maryland that was hosted by MI and coach Jim Harbaugh.
Harbaugh would have loved to see Jones in a 49ers jersey.
These type of football camps were originally banned by the NCAA, but the organization later reversed that decision.
Either way, this is incredibly entertaining for football fans.
Just last week, Harbaugh took a shot at Saban on Twitter after his rant on satellite camps and later followed that up by saying Saban was being a hypocrite with his anti-satellite camp stance.

Throughout all of the satellite camp talk, Saban has remained true to his stance on wanting to get players to Alabama’s campus for the Crimson Tide’s camps. Saban says he will not attend any satellite camps, instead he will focus his time to work with players. “Jim Harbaugh is fine with me”. Everybody’s got the right to manage their program like they want. At the SEC spring meetings in Destin in late May, Saban became very animated explaining his rationale for his opposition to satellite camps, at one point pounding the podium to emphasize his point. “And maybe I’ll change my mind”, said Quinn, now an analyst for Fox Sports. I’m not in any way critical of anything that he’s doing or done or said or anything else. “We are going to invest more time in that especially me because I don’t feel like I get to spend as much time around our players”. “It’s about the development of players, which is what the old-fashioned camps used to be, and I guess I’m still kind of old-fashioned”. “That’s enough for me; that’s as much as I can handle”.
