Can't believe this hasn't been brought up yet, but does this also apply to our coaches' clinics like the ones being held in the 757?

I kinda hope the refs did screw them. This could be the beginning of their athletic sanctions. I don't blame the current players, but when it comes to the athletic program as a whole, it's time to deal with the some consequences.

The biggest losers in all this is high school athletes.

While I disliked the practice as a Hokie fan, part of me feels bad for the kids who won't be getting the extra exposure. Not every family from the Tidewater area has the resources to send their athlete to a camp at Michigan or Penn State. The big name programs won't have any issue getting the 4 and 5 star recruits, but the mid tier/diamond in the rough recruits who might have gotten noticed at such camps are less likely to be seen.

I'm not 100% sure that this benefits the ACC as a whole.

Had this remained permissible, the 757, FL/GA/SC/NC probably would have gotten a lot of satellite camps, which might cramp the style of half our conference. But it would have allowed all the northern schools like Syracuse and BC to go south for camps and it would have allowed all of us to go to Texas and California too. With Fuente's connections in OK, TX, and TN, and our own in FL, VT might have been able to leverage this quite a bit.

Now, having said all that, I'm glad it has now been forbidden. I like it better this way. Suck it Big Ten! Ha ha ha!
