Was the SEC just looking out for their own interests? Of course they were. And so was every other conference. None of them give a crap about kids getting opportunities. They just want to get a leg up in whatever way they can, or prevent other conferences from getting a leg up. Was the SEC making a bigger fuss than they should have? Sure. But they're no better or worse than anyone else. Every conference is going to look out for their own interests. It makes sense for the SEC to not want the B1G or anyone else to not get a leg up on recruting, no? Will it hurt some kids? Maybe. Do I agree with it being banned? I'm not sure yet, tbh. But stop acting like the SEC is the only conference who is doing anything wrong. The B1G was trying to get a leg up in recruiting through a loop hole. The SEC wanted to prevent them from getting that leg up. I changed the title and put the poll up because you're being irrational like you always are with everything SEC. You and Morkim both can't see past your own biases to realize that what I'm saying is literally the same thing everybody else is. So either everybody is irrational, or you guys are defending something that everybody agrees is a bad thing. You tell me which scenario is more reasonable. You both are also ignoring the fact that the conferences who couldn't camp didn't HAVE to campaign to get it banned for everybody else. They could have more easily lifted the ban so that they could also camp. Even the playing field that way, because that benefits everybody. But nah, the more immoral route had to be taken. Why not abolish the whole rule then? Why limit hosting camps to your own 50 mile radius? Not everyone is saying this is a horrible thing. lol. That's some hyperbole.

And they pretty much are. I haven't read any article with any sort of "meh" response to the ban. I'll respond to your other posts later, btw.

Yum. SEC hate and pandering to da haters. Yeah the SEC hates the kids. The B1G was all about the kids and the little guy and giving those impoverished players encouragement to do better even if they couldn't go to their fancy B1G schools.

You are so unreasonably defensive. Newsflash: The article never said or even implied any of the things you keep saying.

And lol @ pandering. Keep living in denial that anybody reasonable actually believes this isn't a big deal.

Theres others. I felt like there was a big AD from the B1G, but I don't remember. Gene Smith OSU's AD said he was "okay with" the ruling. That was the one.

Franklin goes into no detail about why he believes it's not a big deal in the article you linked. So I have no idea if his reasoning is reasonable or not (it's very likely not, just like your reasoning). Nice try though. With every article I have linked, you have either missed the point of why I linked it in the first place (like with the article from the TN journalist) or just blabbed random strawman crap with no substance, not actually attempting to provide counterpoints to anything. It's frustrating. On top of that, your entire argument, in a nutshell, is "but nobody really cared about the lesser kids in the first place". Which, on top of being bullshit, completely avoids the argument and is just a big red herring. Doubly frustrating.

It's frustrating. You literally said no one reasonable actually believes this isn't a big deal. I linked a B1G coach basically saying it's not a big deal and he's okay with it. Gene Smith the Ohio State AD said he was "okay with" the ruling. He was the AD I was thinking of. I didn't miss the point of the last article. It's just villianizing the SEC. Those poor kids. Because it's all about the kids with the B1G. Unlike the SEC who is just about the money, or petty territorialism.
