Partridge & Peppers coach at Youth Satellite Camp this weekend!

Michigan linebackers coach Chris Partridge and star defender Jabrill Peppers used a free weekend to give back to the youth of New Jersey, volunteering at the "Game Changers" youth football camp in Waldwick, NJ.
Both coach and player spent the day with youth players, coaching and instructing, but were forced to leave when high school age players arrived, as the NCAA outlawed programs coaching in "satellite camps" on Thursday.
Harbaugh and company should go on a tour of the country to instruct youth this summer.
Not to mention that every event would underscore the stupidity of the NCAA ban (and have great video of Harbaugh having fun and playing football with kids). I think this would be a great response.
Just when the SEC/NCAA cabal comes up with an answer, Jim Harbaugh changes the questions...
UM needs to open 3 or 4 practice facilities in the states of AL FL and TX and use them regularly...which means once a year, every year. Suck it SEC, ACC and Emmert.

You jest, and yet I think there's a nonzero chance that actually happens.

Since I am not a high school student, can Harbaugh and company come do a camp for me and my fatty friends? It would get parents to fall in love with Harbaugh, live out their Al Bundy dreams of former glory, and be great press for the school. Until my friend has a heart attack...
Strangely enough, part of me thinks that even doing the odd youth camp like this is kind of a fun way to live just to one side of the satellite camp ban, one of many ways they could potentially troll the NCAA a bit.
In all seriousness though, it is cool to see the players get involved in this sort of thing and promote the University by giving back to, in this case, New Jersey football. Part of excelling off the field as well as on it, I would think.
Guys like Partridge and Peppers are going to teach kids the right way to play, rather than kids' first experience being with a nutcase never-was coach who thinks good football breaks bones.
Have some moron telling kids he he needs to "hear football"
Maybe they can find someone who was a member of a staff that won a national championship to do it while they're at it.

to pass out the Sno Cones.............
Big fan of this idea.
"Sorry kids, the SEC says that once you hit high school I can't show you how to block properly. I can totally spam the shit out of you online though. Get my text? Here's another 4,000. Catch you tomorrow!"
Volunteering will be banned by the NCAA by Tuesday.
Well if Schlissel says no, maybe SM Ross says yes!
I thought they werent officially outlawed until the 28th? shouldnt they still be able to do these
The rule change is effective immediately.
About the NCAA banning satellite camps because of the SEC, look at this hilarious tweet about Jordan Speith's collapse.
But are there 11 Peppers' trying to run it back?

where is the NCAA. where is Mark Emmert. How can they be letting this atrocity happen
so here's a photo of our friend Mark
And go to the SEC
Hopefully, the young talent in New Jersey will go to Michigan when they grow up. Maybe a future Gary, Peppers, Singleton, Ruiz (he is from New Jersey), or Bolds were at that camp.

I've read some very interesting ideas here and some warrant real consideration.
1. We should do these camps anyway, because we can't come across as defeated by Ol Boss Hog and his good ol boy cronies. We also gain exposure in those areas starting early, which is what our main goal is
2. I'm like most people here who don't believe this is over by a long shot. I think Harb needs to show the whole world that the NCAA is against youth and charities like Chad Tough. Doing these events anyway (in some fashion) keeps the media involved and rubs their faces in it.
3. I'm sure the people at U of M and Notre Dame and Northwestern can come up with a good legal strategy to get this rule overurned or revised in a way that doesnt hurt the athletes chances of being seen by schools other that in the south.
Partridge & Peppers.... sounds like:
A) An acoustic Country duo.
B) A law firm.
C) A tasty dish consumed in Southern Cultures (aka SEC Country) which in turn gives the eater bad heartburn, excessive bloating, gas and eventual death.
D) All of the Above.
E) None of the Above.
"Next time you are in town make sure you go to Jimmy's Cafe, they have the best Partridge & Peppers you will ever have"
