I have UConn friends that now live in Seattle and went to football games hosted by those Huskies. Seattle deals with a lot of cold, rainy days and that's exactly what they did when Husky Stadium was renovated. It's bigger than what UConn needs right now (70K); but, putting a roof of the sidelines helped a lot.

You obviously haven't heard of Tennessee's "Volunteer Navy".

This is exactly what I am picturing in my head. Partial covering over the seating for those ninnies that think they are going to melt in the rain. As an added bonus, a partial roof might help the noise levels inside the stadium too. Capping the stadium at 55-60K won't seem like a big deal from a decibel level standpoint similar to Quest Field in Seattle. Makes 55K sound louder than 100K at other stadiums.

That should be on everyone's CFB bucket list. Been there in the rain and n the sun. They know how to tailgate and the location and atmosphere is unique.

Let me know who has the political capital to get expansion done in the state anytime soon. Not happening with the massive budget deficits, layoffs and cutting of state agencies coming over the next two years.

As much as I enjoy ripping Harbaugh from time to time..this time on satellites he is 100% correct. Maximizing opportunities for kids

Aaron ‏@posas13 3h3 hours ago
@flugempire Problem is that his tone made the issue about him rather than the kids.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@posas13 Fine..he had the wrong tone...but at end of day why the ban on satellites? Why? There is logical reason

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@posas13 Should Minnesota ban all outside non MN hockey camps from the massive amount of HCKY players who live in MN? Only hurts MN kids.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@posas13 The more I think about this issue...the more piss I get at the other conferences. Many kids can't make trips outside living area.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@posas13 That's not logical...that is emotion. The ban hurts the kids..not Harbaugh. How stupid. As childish Harbaugh acts ban is worse.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 2h2 hours ago
@posas13 I see no logical reason to ban if you are thinking about the kids. But SEC and others were not thinking about the kids...again

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 2h2 hours ago
@posas13 Some poor kid from Baton Rouge who is not getting an offer from LSU who can't get to camps might be seen by PSU camp or UCLA camp

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 2h2 hours ago
@posas13 JH didn't jail kids...yes he was an ass. But it was those who voted for ban did kids wrong. You are blaming wrong person

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 2h2 hours ago

ME: the summer camp decision hitting them much harder than thought

 

[Ldandy]

These camps have been held for years with minimal complaint. There were rules on the books to govern them. Harbaugh * on the rules and decided he would hold as many camps as he wanted wherever he wanted. When The SEC called him out on it, he basically told them to get bent. What did anyone think would happen? Unfortunately everything is slanted to benefit the schools and The NCAA not the prospective student athletes.

Flug is right on this. The NCAA is limiting potential opportunities for kids without the economic means to travel outside of the traditional official visit construct. Disadvantaged kids in The South who might have chose a Rutgers, UCONN, or Minnesota had they attended a regional camp, might end up choosing a lesser school like FIU, Southern Miss, or Memphis simply because they can visit it. Worse they might accept an "offer" to be the 32nd kid in a 25 person UT or Ole Miss Class. If they are good enough they can earn their scholarship. If not they are quietly processed then shipped off to some God forsaken southern junior college for "academic" reasons. Does The NCAA care about this practice? LOL...No.

 

[billybud]

I do believe that they will fix an unintended consequence....they were attempting to stop Harbaugh and his ilk from setting up storefront recruiting shops (like the Army) in Tampa, Atlanta, Miami, etc.. Holding camps in Florida.

The practice of Ohio State inviting a MAC coach to their camp to look at recruits that Ohio state does not offer or of FSU inviting a FAMU or Bethune Cookman coach is a completely different matter...and I think that will be addressed.

 

[Seaa Blue]

There were rules on the books to govern them. NCAA MEMBERS WITH AN AGENDA * on the rules and decided they would hold as many VOTES as they wanted wherever they wanted.

Bluevod has been all over the place on Twitter.

It concerns me that he was very specific with that comment. Sad day if he's right about that. And if he's wrong, it will be hard to forgive him for being so reckless with his comments.[/URL]

 

[billybud]

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.

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.

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.

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

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

 

[SubbaBub]

It's worse for the kids. I learned today that the MAC and other G5 schools would piggy back on these camps providing opportunities for kids that would never otherwise be seen by those schools short of on tape.

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.
