If a high school student can discover career, athletic or educational opportunities outside of their local region, there is absolutely no reason anyone should limit or suppress that opportunity.
Ok, so we have winter. Buy a coat, and get a great education with a legendary sports program, in a fantastic city. Some people are afraid to let the students and their families have the chance to make a well-informed choice.
They forget. America: Land of opportunity.

How is that we get such corrupt and pathetic dipshits in these positions of power? If I was in charge I'd clean house so damn fast I'd probably get assasinated. Eleven of the twelve? You've got to be fucking kidding me. That guy is fired already with me calling the shots. Don't care who he or anyone is. Boom goes the dynamite.

Throughout human history - from the Roman Empire to FIFA - this is what happens when you have this much money sloshing around an opaque system run by appointed people behind the scenes.
Ummm... the people put them there?!

People don't vote against their self interest unless paid to do so.

Why does anybody corrupt think they can get away with it? You get so isolated in your little echo-chamber of yes-men that you lose touch with reality.
and to be honest, I think a large part of it has to do with the fact they have gotten away with it for such a long time, they have become so delusional they see threats where they don't exist, their corruption has given them a sense of ownership to that which has never been questioned before so measures employed to protect this "inherent" natural resource, are viewed as valid and proper by those from that area and seen as archaic and so out of touch with an right thinking person, and will be viewed as such, with both sides believing they are correct due to nothing more than geographical dispartity.
To me its freaky as fuck, but sometime that corruption you speak of is not seen that way at all. Scares the shit out of me as well because it's not. But they don'y want to reisit the path and this time they could have blown their load with which the speed they carried out their plan, the nature of their obtaining the necessary % for immediate ban, what amounts to a basic public acknowledgement of guilt, prior history in some instances among otherls.
They've nailed their dick to the wall on this one and they won't be moving freely for awhile. Natural resources and protection of same doe not transfer to people. The measures they have taken already, the conflict of interest obvious in Emmert's case, possibly something that could have been argued against was pretty much made real by his leading this fight for a particular conference, and I do'n't know how he avoids the expose of such as being genuine and he's going to have to be pretty much a bystander during their untangling.
The more they do, the more it becomes apparent they are afraid of a coach of Michigan, a man who has not broken a damn rule, and their reaction is to gather forces and unite behind a platform of strict limitation to benefits to those who we are charged wtth carrying out exactlty the oppsite. If they were at battle with someone well known for having total or little regard for the rules, they would be prepard. They invented virtually all things illegal but so close to the line so facing anoher immoral scum bag is seen as a light workout. Facing your exact opposite I imagine is a little challenging, based on nothing ore than uniqueness of enemy.

I can't see the NCAA BoD confirming the satellite camp ban with a close vote on such a sensitive topic. They need to project an image of consensus and the fallout would be too great. It would keep the topic on the front page, plus the PR hit that comes with it. Especially with the Tennessee Two Step of the past couple weeks with one step forward and two steps back.
They will probably table the matter until a clear cut majority is assured.
