This really seems like it violates the interstate commerce clause in the Constitution. A lawsuit has to have a good chance to succeed in a Fair court. Now finding a Fair court ....

The NCAA is about the student-athletes but who represents the student-athletes? Did they have a bunch of high schoolers input when they asked the ads of each conference to vote this in. I'm shocked that there is no true representation of the student-athlete
Nothing like haven't some academic non-athletic department guy throw a big F You to your schools new football coach. He must have missed the memo about looking out for the best interests of his current employer.
You're a fool to think he was not just a representative of the Big 12 with orders from Bowlsby.
There is 0% chance that Tim Day's vote was representative of Iowa State. It was representative of what the ten Big 12 schools had already decided. Just do the math and if the Texas and Oklahoma schools are against satellite camps, then the conference is voting against them. That's 60% of the Big 12 right there.
I know he received marching orders from the Big 12. But if I am a newly hired football coach who is in favor of satellite camps and a professor from my own school votes against me I have serious trust issues with my school.

Satellite Camp Ruling Generates Buzz
You may have seen last week’s announcement from the NCAA Division I Council that the highly sensationalized recent proliferation of football satellite camps has been halted. Effective immediately, college football coaches can only work or appear at their own university's camps and clinics, and such events must be held at school facilities or ones regularly used by programs.
I believe this is the right move by the Council but only if we now immediately move to work with football stakeholders, perhaps including the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), FBS conferences or CFP, high school athletic associations and even potentially the National Football Foundation (NFF) to create a platform for systematic regional clinics or camps conducted in a fashion that will give aspiring college football players around the country exposure to multiple college coaches and the incredible (and monetarily valuable) access to higher education the sport provides.
It is important to remember that the NCAA Division I Council, which voted in this legislation, is a product of last year's governance reform intended to give practitioners more influence and pragmatic ability to shape college athletics for the 21st century. Indeed the Council is made up of 40 total members comprised of athletic directors, faculty athletic representatives (FAR), etc., AND for the first time in the history of the NCAA, real current student-athletes! Big 12 Council representatives include Commissioner Bowlsby, Brian Shannon (FAR at Texas Tech), Tim Day (FAR at Iowa State) and Rachel Scott, a student-athlete at Texas.
Naturally there have been a few passionate headline-grabbing reactions for and against this particular Council decision and action, but I believe we need to respect the time, effort and thought of our Council members and give our new system a chance to succeed. I'm sure this will be a significant topic of discussion at our Big 12 AD meetings in Phoenix and DFW next month.

Not even close. CMC knows whats what, he knows that Day is the conference representative on that board and has to vote how the conference says to vote. CMC isn't an idiot, he knows it's all about conference politics and one rep has no power when the big boys of the conference determine how that vote will go.
Here is a link to a USA today article:

Not too happy with the ban obviously, or Hugh Freeze. Don't think this will hold up for that long Really hurts the smaller Mac schools student athletes etc even more than us.
If I typed out explicitly what I thought of the NCAA, I'd have to ban myself. What a joke of an organization.
What is the Pandora's Box they are all talking about and how did the BXII vote for the ban? It would have had to be the Tex schools because reading ESPN nobody else supported but Snyder was wishy washy.

New twist in satellite camp ban. Pac-12 commish Larry Scott says their rep, Dan Guerrero, "did not vote the way he was supposed to vote."
