I don't think playing games down there is all that relevant. The camps allow players to essentially try out for scholarships, especially in areas far from campus. SEC and ACC teams want to prevent that so they get all the local guys.


When schools like I listed above have so many southern kids... if Akron, Iowa State, NIU, Illinois, Toledo, Louisville, etc can access southern kids anyone can.

Sure...nobody in Florida wants Harbaugh setting up recruiting shops so far removed from his campus....I can imagine the traveling circuses as multiple large programs follow. Harbaugh, in 2016, had twice as many commits from Florida than from Michigan. It isn't about athletes and exposure to scholarships, it is about Harbough trying to sell Michigan for his speed positions..he signed DB's, WR, LB, DE, from Florida. Sales..not exposure for the athlete.

But to understand the situation in Florida from an athlete's perspective, almost every kid is looked at by somebody...2016 wasn't a great vintage for Florida...FSU went to 10 other states this year.

Yet the following programs did take 2016 Class Florida kids...How did they all just find these guys? Recruiting info is now national.

Alabama, Appalachian State, Arizona, Arkansas, Auburn, Boston College, Cincinnati, Clemson, Colorado, Colorado State, Connecticut, Duke, East Carolina, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa State, Kansas, Kent State, Louisville, LSU, Marshall, Michigan, Middle Tennessee, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Rutgers, South Carolina, Southern Miss, Stanford, Syracuse, Temple, Tennessee, Toledo, Troy, Tulane, Southern Cal, Utah, Virginia, Virginia Tech,
Wake Forest, Washington State, Western Kentucky, West Virginia, Wisconsin.

And that's not the Division II scholarships...

Billy, the SEC and their ilk will profess their love of free trade and competition right up until the point that they lose their natural advantage, then the can't build protectionist walls fast enough.

The sad thing that Billy wants to ignore is that for many of these kids, unfortunately, obtaining a football scholarship may be their best chance to obtain an education and a future. That they want to limit those opportunties is disgusting. If Michigan rolling in twice per year can steal recruits from FSU well then maybe that tells you that FSU isn't at the same level. Perhaps the B1G states should prohibit the southeast from visiting it's high schools to recruit students - I'm sure they would have no problem with that.

We have been given info for us to believe ASU HCKY will be announcing their Conference on April 12th or 13th WCHA or B1G? B1G it will be...

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 4h4 hours ago
@CT_Goonie Yep. ASU just announced they will disclose Arena plans in 1-2 weeks... Maybe info timing off... Will see soon enough

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 4h4 hours ago
I listen to Freeze on Mike & Mike and his argument to ban camps was "Coaches respected each other too much" ...nothing about the kids.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 4h4 hours ago
Anytime you put artificial walls around state boundaries (healthcare Ins competition for example) you diminish opportunities and excellence.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 4h4 hours ago
SEC/ACC/B12 argument on camps outside of own state is BS. So they need to talk about JH to hide their BS argument @finebaum for example

@Expansion_Crush @finebaum Because in MN we feed Coll HCKY the players..and we want all our kids to have best opportunity to land spot in D1

no1hellokittyfan ‏@Expansion_Crush 4h4 hours agoAtlanta, IN
@flugempire @finebaum No oversigning? That's not the SEC way. Limit the potential if you can, right? Hope they come around Sr year?

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago

lee ‏@Columbushokie 3h3 hours ago
@flugempire @Expansion_Crush @finebaum Fine, but that doesn't mean SEC fans are promoting slavery.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@Columbushokie @Expansion_Crush @finebaum No of course they are not...but what is SEC promoting? It's promoting State Walls over Access.

lee ‏@Columbushokie 3h3 hours ago
@flugempire @Expansion_Crush @finebaum They want to maintain a competitive advantage and the B1G would do exactly the same.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@Columbushokie @Expansion_Crush @finebaum No...Big Ten wouldn't do exactly the same. BS.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@Columbushokie @Expansion_Crush @finebaum Gophers have 2 great RB's from Georgia...us Notherners get Souther kids...but it's about access

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 2h2 hours ago
@Columbushokie @Expansion_Crush @finebaum Let me be clear Hokie. This should be about the kids... SEC needs to grow up. Period.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@Columbushokie @Expansion_Crush @finebaum Keeping Competitive advantage? Like over-signing? Like bags of money? It's all good right?

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 2h2 hours ago
@Columbushokie @Expansion_Crush @finebaum Except this time SEC stupidity is decreasing access for poor kids. It's BS.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 2h2 hours ago
I'm actually starting to feel embarrassed for the SEC. It's tough when the mask slips off the face again.

Typical Minnesotan thumping his chest about Minnesota hockey players. His ASU call last week appears to be wrong, at least on the timing.

All these schools schools you mention piggy back off these camps. The MAC teams are invited to the OSU camps. That's how they get exposure to a lot of these kids. Not everyone at Urbans camp is going to Ohio State.

Crazy how that works when you have the biggest stadium in the country.

And yet... Michigan did play at UConn. Hmm..

They could play LSU...closest size wise I think.

I'd have more patience with Michigan et al if not for the past. If they want southern exposure, play more southern teams in home and homes.

Michigan doesn't play in the south...FSU played 'em twice in the Big House and they would not return...same with Michigan State (2 games in Lansing), same with Ohio State (2 games in Columbus).

Michigan has not played away at an ACC nor SEC stadium.

So I felt up to a little research. Michigan did play at BC 9/7/1991 (if you count that).

If you want to raise some eyebrows, take a look at the 2014 out of conference schedules for the Big Ten and SEC. The SEC barely plays away OOC. Missouri somehow found its way all the way to Toledo and Auburn to K-State. Most of the other games are almost walk-able. I think that should give you an idea of who really doesn't like to travel.

2014 SEC Out of Conference: 10 games away. 7 P-5

Tennessee at Oklahoma
South Carolina at Clemson
Missouri at Toledo
Arkansas at Texas Tech
Kentucky at Loisiville
Auburn at Kansas State
Ole Miss Rebels - None
Florida at Florida State
Alabama - West Virginia (Atlanta Georgia)
aTm at SMU
Mississippi State at South Alabama
Vanderbuilt - None
Georgia - None
LSU - None


Big Ten 2014 OOC: 17 games away, 11 P-5 + 2 Navy

Penn State - UCF (Doublin Ireland)
Purdue - Notre Dame (Indianapolis)
Iowa at Pittsburg
Minnesota at TCU
Illinois at Washington
Michigan at Notre Dame
Nebraska at Fresno State
Northwestern at Notre Dame
Wisconsin - LSU (Houston)
Indiana at Bowling Green, Missouri
Maryland at South Florida, Syracuse
Michigan State at oregon
Ohio State at Navy
Rutgers at Washington State, navy

Michigan has not played away at an ACC nor SEC stadium.

And...the chance to do so may have passed, at least against some teams...Alabama, FSU, and others are planning to use neutral site games instead of home and homes...FSU gets $8,5 million for playing Ole Miss and Bama in the next two season opening classics and it is a business decision...Alabama has opened with a neutral site game every season since 2011.

Billy, big northern schools play in the south all the time - it is called bowl season. Yet another of the built in advantages that southern teams have in CFB.

I always assumed that southern schools were the ones avoiding the scheduling of home and homes with OSU, UM, PSU, etc. Southern schools don't build there teams to compete when it is below 50 or raining. They would damn near shatter if they saw a little frost.

@Bluevodreal Lawsuit possible?

Bluevod ‏@Bluevodreal 4m4 minutes ago
@BunkerF16 I would think so but that would be the end. You can not sue your schools and hope to keep them.

BunkerF16 ‏@BunkerF16 3m3 minutes ago
@Bluevodreal Can MI sue the NCAA?

Bluevod ‏@Bluevodreal 3m3 minutes ago
@BunkerF16 oh thought you were referring to ACC. I do not think they can or will but will pursue another angle or two.

BunkerF16 ‏@BunkerF16 5m5 minutes ago
@Bluevodreal No way ban sticks..there will be modifications so NCAA can save face, but MI/Harbaugh have made NCAA/SEC/ACC look really bad

@Bluevodreal @CGreen63 What about Clemson? They're skipping over a seaboard state in SC. I realize Georgia is contiguous to NC but still ...

Bluevod ‏@Bluevodreal 3m3 minutes ago
@cscottwright @CGreen63 Have never heard them brought up. I would think SEC would snatch them when the domino's start to fall.

The rumors out here is the Coyotes will move to the East Valley.
I heard a Pima Reservation has donated land near their casino.
The Salt River Res is closer to Mesa/Scottsdale and Casino AZ
The Hila River Res is nearer Tempe/ Chandler and wild horse pass casino
Both have hotels and golf courses but neither are actually part of any city.

Glendale was a stupid place to put a hockey team.

The fact is that UConn doesn't register in NYC? What a made up crock of poo

That and saying that UConn's basketball dominance has ruffled too many feathers inside the P5 is complete rubbish. This guy clearly knows nothing about UConn and the value it brings.

UConn's dominance earns the entire conference increased tournament payouts. Money talks.

Billy, the SEC and their ilk will profess their love of free trade and competition right up until the point that they lose their natural advantage, then the can't build protectionist walls fast enough.

The sad thing that Billy wants to ignore is that for many of these kids, unfortunately, obtaining a football scholarship may be their best chance to obtain an education and a future. That they want to limit those opportunties is disgusting. If Michigan rolling in twice per year can steal recruits from FSU well then maybe that tells you that FSU isn't at the same level. Perhaps the B1G states should prohibit the southeast from visiting it's high schools to recruit students - I'm sure they would have no problem with that.


How about the list of schools that recruited Florida kids this year that I posted? It is far easier to post the handful who did not recruit a Florida kid...and that is not talking the rest of the southeast.

If an athlete can play and he plays in Florida, he will get looked at....it isn't about the student..it is about Harbaugh going to disgusting lengths to compete in a college game....sleepovers, camps in Florida, hypnotism, holding a sibling hostage...where does it end?

I can't remember the last time that an FSU coach visited a Michigan high school...or recruited a Michigan kid....it wouldn't hurt a bit to be banned from Michigan and Ohio.

Oh my gawd...banned from recruiting Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Nebraska....ouch! That would sting the Noles so badly!

Billy, big northern schools play in the south all the time - it is called bowl season. Yet another of the built in advantages that southern teams have in CFB.

I always assumed that southern schools were the ones avoiding the scheduling of home and homes with OSU, UM, PSU, etc. Southern schools don't build there teams to compete when it is below 50 or raining. They would damn near shatter if they saw a little frost.

Huh...FSU beat Ohio State every time that they played them by double digits..twice in Columbus, once in Sugar...put 51 points up on Michigan to set a record at their Big House ( and in a year when they went undefeated in the Big Ten), beat Michigan State every time they played them (twice in Lansing) by an average of 26 points, beat Wisconsin the only time they played by 29 points...and then Wisconsin said that they would never schedule FSU because of their name.

These Big Ten guys want no part of FSU in Tallahassee.


And that's not mentioning playing four times at Nebraska with no return...

I hear ya. Summer satillite camps are decaying the fabric of college football. Sexual assaults, robberies, fake classes and colleges paying off families to get kids to go to their school pale in comparison to what Harbaugh is doing. Offering a kid an opportunity to see something they couldn't normally is something that just shouldn't happen . . . ever.

Call a spade a spade - the southern conferences didn't give a rat's ass about the kids. They didn't want the northern schools recruiting in their backyard, so they banded together and killed the camps.

Harbaugh scares the nuts off them.

@MH ver3 So basically dude of wvu is coming to your side and fluge's side as he seems to be moving to byu, cincy, uconn top 3 and cincy/uconn

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 15m15 minutes ago
@UCONNfan14 he's the John Kerry of Twitter. Flip. Flop. Flip. Flop.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 15m15 minutes ago
basically everything I've been saying for months and I don't even get a reach around??
B1G Expansion Primer of Rumors and Facts

Storrs South ‏@gampel_2_msg 12m12 minutes ago
@MH ver3 except they totally get UConn wrong in formatting and as an overall candidate for expansion. BHV & Navigate already figured this out

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 11m11 minutes ago
@gampel_2_msg I was talking about the B10 stuff. But yeah saying you guys are irrelevant in NY is kind of uninformed.

Storrs South ‏@gampel_2_msg 9m9 minutes ago
@MH ver3 agreed yea everything u have covered at length. The Memphis to B12 stuff is laughable. Bad athletic department, market, & following

Storrs South ‏@gampel_2_msg 9m9 minutes ago
@MH ver3 at least Cincy, BYU, and UConn have their sh it together and can hang their hat on location, football, or TV market

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 7m7 minutes ago
@gampel_2_msg it could happen but only if ACC survives

Storrs South ‏@gampel_2_msg 4m4 minutes ago
@MH ver3 meaning u see BYU, Cincy, UConn (in no particular order) as first priority and if ACC stands pat Memphis is in 2 otherwise ACC unis

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3m3 minutes ago
@gampel_2_msg BYU is the wildcard but yes

Storrs South ‏@gampel_2_msg 2m2 minutes ago
@MH ver3 between B12 and B10 - this is going to be a wild couple of months

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 10m10 minutes ago
Things have been very quiet lately. I think it means something BIG is brewing. This is how it was before MD was invited.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 9m9 minutes ago
Everyone is literally holding their breath waiting to see what B10 does.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 7m7 minutes ago
Literally the only info I've gotten these past few days has been that Uconn's Board had a phone meeting to get their ducks in a row

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 7m7 minutes ago
For leaving AAC

Doug ‏@NebGradDubDub 7m7 minutes ago
@MH ver3 B10 got good news today. ESPN can't bid on the men's NCAA Tourney for at least 16 years.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 14s14 seconds ago
@NebGradDubDub and the numbers are misleading because it's actually 8.8 billion for just 8 more years.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 now3 minutes ago
@NebGradDubDub a pretty big increase from .7 b a year to 1.1 b

Bluevod ‏@Bluevodreal 2h2 hours ago
@mcgoblue @abrick75 never heard of him.

Matthew D Carlson ‏@mcgoblue 2h2 hours ago
@Bluevodreal @abrick75 he started an expansion page on facebook and I am on it with others and your twitter comments have been discussed.

Matthew D Carlson ‏@mcgoblue 2h2 hours ago
@Bluevodreal @abrick75 he says no way the ACC would break up because of the GOR.

Bluevod ‏@Bluevodreal 2h2 hours ago
@mcgoblue @abrick75 that's not what several lawyers think. I'm no lawyer but have done a ton of contracts and looks like to me it is clear.

Bluevod ‏@Bluevodreal 2h2 hours ago
@mcgoblue @abrick75 the other thing is if ACC thought the GOR was solid they would not have asked schools resign new one.6 schools did not.

Matthew D Carlson ‏@mcgoblue 3h3 hours ago
@Bluevodreal @abrick75 I can't wait to throwit in his face. Stick with WVU and dont pretend to know anything about BIG10 and Michigan.

Bluevod‏@Bluevodreal
@mcgoblue @abrick75 does not mean it will happen for sure but talks are serious. I would say 50% shot. 2 months ago I would have said 10%.


ME: You mean to say there are those that don't think a wood clearing in WV is a good place to find expansion info? :D
