On Monday, SEC commissioner Mike Slive and commissioner-elect Greg Sankey voiced their stances on satellite camps, and on Tuesday, Alabama coach Nick Saban was asked what he thought about other programs setting up shop in SEC country.
Saban said he thinks it needs to be addressed since the SEC doesn't allow its schools to do the same, according to AL.com.
"If we're all going to travel all over the country to have satellite camps, you know, how ridiculous is that?" Saban said. "I mean, we're not allowed to go to all-star games, but now we're going to have satellite camps all over the country. So it doesn't really make sense."
NCAA bylaws state that football programs must host camps either on their campus, inside their state or within a 50-mile radius of campus if it happens to be out of state. However, there's a loophole that allows coaches to "guest coach" or work another school's camps in order to get outside that 50-mile radius. The ACC and SEC don't allow their coaches to utilize that loophole, but other Power 5 conferences do allow it.
Saban referred to it as a "competitive disadvantage." You can see the full video of his comments.
