Texas Tech's Potential Satellite Camp Loophole

The NCAA's new rule on satellite camps might leave the door open for Texas Tech to still conduct them.

Last week, the NCAA ruled that teams could no longer conduct "satellite camps". Such camps usually involved a school hosting athletes from major recruiting markets away from their actual campus.

For instance, the state of Florida has a longstanding tradition of being rich with talent. This benefits schools like Miami, Florida State, and Florida due to their proximity to the area's high schools. But with satellite camps, a school like Michigan - which would normally have difficulty recruiting in a state so far away - could set up a satellite camp in the sunshine state and recruit hundreds of Floridian athletes all at once.
