The ban on satellite camps in college football needs to clear one more NCAA threshold next week. It is no slam dunk to sail through, and the debate over the camps has put a spotlight on the NCAA's new governance structure that has not been flattering.
The Division I Board of Directors does not have to approve the proposed ban passed earlier this month by the Division I Council. It could simply decide to not address the issue on April 28 and the proposal would become effective immediately.
The council, made up mostly of athletic directors, was created during the 2015 NCAA governance restructuring to empower the practitioners and let them have a greater say in creating legislation.
