"The Board of Directors is interested in a holistic review of the football recruit- ing environment, and camps are a piece of that puzzle," Board of Directors chair Harris Pastides, president of the University of South Carolina, said. "We share the Council's interest in improving the camp environment, and we support the Council's efforts to create a model that emphasizes the scholastic environment as an appropriate place for recruiting future student-athletes." The question for the council will become one of what constitutes a recruit- ing situation when it comes to camps. Council chairman Jim Phillips, athletics director at Northwestern, reacted to the decision. "It's clear that the membership has differing views on this subject, and the Council appreciates the Board's insights into this important issue," Phillips said. "This review will provide an opportunity to identify the most effective ways prospective student-athletes can have their academic and athletic credentials evaluated by schools across the country." Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh spoke briefly to the Associated Press regarding the overturn. "Good news," Harbaugh noted. "It's good for prospective student-athletes, fans, coaches and competition."
