[Dingleberry]

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer took aim at some of the problems he sees in college athletics during a news conference promoting the Sound Mind Sound Body Academy in suburban Detroit on Wednesday morning.And what irked Meyer most was that high school athletes have to pay their own way to campuses for unofficial visits and camps. The NCAA allows five official visits to schools, paid for by the institutions, during an athlete's senior year."It is one of the problems I have now with collegiate athletics. It's almost anti-student-athlete where they have to come to us for camp," Meyer said. "How many kids can afford to fly or drive that far?"This is so unusual, I can't believe we're allowed to do this."
