If they are going to have a buy-in over $25K, I would like to see NO satellites at all. It's PUSU time, cough up the dough or go home.

You cannot stop me and my 24 friends from putting up $1000 apiece and having a satellite. By the same logic, you cannot prevent online sites from offering a satellite to your tournament. Nor can you prevent people from soliciting backers, etc.
Theoretically, the house could refrain from running "official" satellites but considering (1) the satellites increase the number of entries, thus making the house more money, and (2) the satellites themselves are raked, it's hard to imagine the sponsor that would shoot itself in the foot by trying this.
