This is outstanding news for Rutgers. Does anybody really want Alabama/OSU/TTFP running clinics in our backyard?
This is really sad.
They are taking access away from kids who would otherwise would get a look from a school outside their area. Instead a boarder line kid in the South who the SEC doesn't want has to hope someone somewhere sees his tape and takes a chance.
This NCAA decision is nothing more than caving to the SEC. Someone got paid. Its anti-competion. Some got paid.

This was inevitable. The SEC has many decades of experience both bending the rules and rewriting them to stop the guy bending them. There are probably a dozen rules that were written just to stop Bear Bryant.
If nothing else it slows down the 'arms race'. A few colleges have nearly unlimited resources to spend gobs of money, most do not.

This bans a school like Michigan from having a camp in SEC territory, but it also bans coaches from other schools visiting camps at other schools. So for example, a coach from Miami Ohio can't go to the camp at OSU. So a kid who doesn't get an offer from OSU won't be seen by a smaller school. So dumb.
Think IMG Academy in Florida.
What the B1G needs to do is start up two B1G Academies, one in the west division, perhaps in Illinois, and one in the east division, possibly Maryland or New Jersey, or even northern Virginia.
Let any kid that wants to attend for sports go for free, all paid for by some "mysterious benefactor."
Of course, be sure to stress how it is for "academics"

Looking at the IMG website in the link above, they never say what the tuition is. That is how you sell, never let people see the high price.
But that is where the B1G Academy will force the issue. FREE for stud athletes.
The B1G Academy in Illinois will market the heck out of California and Texas, whereas the B1G Academy in Maryland will market the east coast and SEC territory.
