ESPN.com has an article quoting Michigan Head Coach Jim Harbaugh on the controversial topic of satellite football camps.
Basically, a satellite football camp is when a school schedules a football camp for high school students somewhere other than on their own campus. An example of a satellite camp might be if Coach Mora and staff worked with either a high school or community college in Northern Calfornia, Arizona or, heck, Alabama, Florida (or anywhere other than Westwood).
The obvious benefit is that the staff of the school holding the satellite camp gets exposure to potential recruits outside of their "home turf".
