The Pac-12 found itself at the center of controversy following the vote to ban satellite camps.
Despite the fact the conference had agreed to vote in favor of keeping the camps, UCLA athletic director Dan Guerrero, the conference's representative at the vote, went the other way and helped the ban pass.
The ban on camps has since been rescinded, but Guerrero was less than pleased when Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott went public with the fact Guerrero voted against the wishes of the rest of the conference. While that certainly caused friction, the two sides are ready to move past it.
"Larry and I have discussed the issue comprehensively and we are in a place now where we both agree we can move forward," Guerrero said Wednesday at the Pac-12 meetings. "The situation is what it is. There's no sense rehashing it. We are ready to move on."
Guerrero's decision to vote in favor of the ban stemmed from the two proposals relating to satellite camps that were presented to the conferences. When it became clear that one was sure to pass, Guerrero decide to vote in favor of the ban that completely eliminated all satellite camps.
The other proposal banned satellite camps that were more than 50 miles away from campus, however, because the Pac-12 already had a ban on the camps, Guerrero believed voting in favor of that proposal would actually give other conferences an advantage over the Pac-12.
"My assessment was that one of the two was going to pass, and we didn’t know which one," Guerrero said. "I had to vote for 59 because if that failed and 60 passed, Pac-12 schools would have been at a disadvantage."
The NCAA Board of Directors voted at the end of April to eliminate the ban, making the satellite camps legal. Several schools including Michigan and Georgia have already scheduled camps to take place this summer.
