As we await Jim Harbaugh's comments on the NCAA banning satellite camps, another coach has already weighed in, and he's not happy.
"It appears that the selfish interests of a few schools and conferences prevailed over the best interests of future potential student-athletes," Washington State coach Mike Leach said in a text message to The Seattle Times. "The mission of universities and athletic programs should be to provide future student-athletes with exposure to opportunities, not to limit them. It appears to me that some universities and conferences are willing to sacrifice the interests of potential student-athletes for no better reasons than to selfishly monopolize their recruiting bases.
"I will be fascinated to hear any legitimate reasoning behind this ruling."
Leach was forced to cancel a camp in California that Washington State has been running for two years.
Recruits with less publicity often take advantage of these satellite camps to get themselves noticed for a chance at a Power 5 school scholarship.
