Get out the pocketbooks. These camps are going to be 1-2 million dollar expenses each year and are going to be a show.
If I were a school, the first thing I would do is turn the school's fields I were using into a replica of my home turf. Power T, checkerboards, etc. I would rent a projection system and a portable screen to create a jumbotron to show the video presentation I use at my own stadium.
I would travel my academic counselors. Afterall, the NCAA is doing this for the kids. I would use my current players to work camps. Nice way to give them a trip to a big city, a good meal and a night to relax. Camps start at 9am. Everyone has to go down the night before so you gotta get plenty of hotels.
I'm taking my equipment truck. Gotta use equipment with your brand on it. I'm taking my DJ and his set up. I'm taking my practice film crew because you gotta video all of camp. I'm taking my medical staff. I'm taking my managers.
If you are going to do it. You gotta go it big. And the race is on to do it bigger, and better than everyone else. Of course if you are doing one a long ways away, everyone is flying.
Oh and what happens when Title IX says you gotta do it for all sports. Welcome satellite camps for baseball and softball. How about Christmas softball camps in California?
Like I said, game on. And in the SEC that means Spent Every Cent. Money is not an issue.
