ANN ARBOR -- Jim Harbaugh and Michigan will be able to go satellite camping after all.

The NCAA's Division I Board of Directors announced its decision to rescind the camp ban that was voted into place by the Division I Council earlier this month.

Per the new decision, "the camps and clinics rule currently legislated is in effect and football coaches may be employed at any camp that follows Division I camps and clinics rules."

"The Board of Directors is interested in a holistic review of the football recruiting environment, and camps are a piece of that puzzle," Board of Directors chair Harris Pastides (South Carolina's president) said in a release. "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 board also called for recommendations for improving the Football Bowl Subdivision recruiting environment from the council by Sept. 1 -- which is the legislative concept deadline for the 2016-17 cycle.

The entire recruiting model -- including "potential modifications" to camps and clinics -- will be reviewed moving forward.

"It's clear that the membership has differing views on this subject, and the Council appreciates the Board's insights into this important issue," Northwestern AD and council chair Jim Phillips said in a release. "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."

Harbaugh, of course, has been at the center of what's become an intense debate across the FBS as to whether or not satellite camps should be allowed.

The Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference (the league that initially made the proposal to ban the camps) spoke out strongly against the idea beginning last summer when Harbaugh and Michigan embarked on a much-publicized "Summer Swarm" camp tour that hit seven states (from Pennsylvania to California) last June.

The SEC and ACC have argued that the camps are nothing more than a recruiting tool for Harbaugh and other schools who participate in them. Some also have argued they're at a competitive disadvantage, as those leagues have rules in place that prohibit conference schools from participating in camps away from their own campus.

Harbaugh fired back, claiming that the southern schools' motives were mostly selfish -- and did not include the best interest of student-athletes.

"During the NCAA basketball tournament we discuss the term 'student-athlete' ad nauseam in promoting our governing institution and our member institutions," Harbaugh told Sports Illustrated earlier this month. "Then, when we have an opportunity to truly promote the 'student-athlete' with a concept shared by educators and football men from all backgrounds, our leadership goes into hiding.

"I suggest we drop the term 'student-athlete' for consistency."

Prior to the ban, Michigan had plans to hit several satellite camp stops in June -- including visits to Georgia, Virginia, Florida, Mississippi and Texas.

It is unclear at this time if all those camps will be held as previously scheduled.

But the bottom line is: Michigan has the option to camp again this summer.
