Jim Delany, the Big Ten Commissioner, discussed Wednesday at the College Football Playoffs meeting about the recent trend many Big Ten teams are using – summer satellite camps.
While Delany says he sees camps as a ‘good practice’, the SEC, which is unable to do camps of their own because of a distance restriction away from campus, have issues. The Big Ten team commissioner mentioned that he does see a problem in recruiting regarding over-signing and grayshirting.

Delany says any national discussion about satellite camps should also include a look at oversigning, grayshirting & "flipping" recruits.
