The NCAA's decision to ban satellite football camps wasn't pleasant news for two Alabama high schools.



Both Bob Jones and Prattville were scheduled to host Michigan camps this summer.



"Well, obviously it's disappointing for us," said Bob Jones coach Kevin Rose, whose program had a June 6 camp date arranged with Jim Harbaugh's Wolverines staff. "Because I thought it was a great opportunity for kids in north Alabama to get some exposure in front of the Michigan coaching staff. Maybe get an opportunity to earn a scholarship."



Prattville hosted a Michigan camp last summer, and was set to welcome back Harbaugh on June 7.

"It's unfortunate for the kids," Lions coach Chad Anderson said. "I understand (the NCAA's) rationale and reasoning, but I think it hurts the kids in some respect. I guess you can get a little carried away with certain things and overdo things. And that's their idea of making sure they don't overdo this with all the different camps and whatever it may be. But I hate it for our kids."

The NCAA statement read that Football Bowl Subdivision schools must "conduct camps and clinics at their school's facilities or at facilities regularly used for practice or competition." Further, coaches and staff members "may be employed only at their school's camps or clinics."



Neither Bob Jones or Prattville had begun collecting camp fees, according to Rose and Anderson.



"We had a ton of calls on the camp," Rose said. "I really wasn't aware how many Michigan fans and alumni lived in the Huntsville area. It's disappointing that it's not going to happen. I thought it would be exciting for our football program. Not just Bob Jones kids, but all the kids in north Alabama. But such is life."
