NCAA scraps ban on camps; UGA, Michigan teaming up

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.

The council three weeks ago approved a ban prohibiting Bowl Subdivision coaches from holding or working at camps and clinics away from their schools. The camps had drawn a high profile after Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan staff held camps in the South last summer.
