        Think of it more they are trying to protect their investment.

          Yeah, because signed contracts are just a stupid, stupid, STUPID idea.

          (You have a shred of a point with kids who sign prior to turning 18 . . . but after that, if they're old enough to vote, why shouldn't they be expected them to agree to a contractual relationship?)

            Since most of these "contracts" are signed by a minor, how are they legal? Do the parents sign off on them as well? Since I wasn't good enough to get myself a recruitment letter I have no idea.

              Simple. Because the coach(es) that recruits them can leave at any moment. The "but they are supposed to commit to the school" crowd will chime in here, but let's be honest the relationships are almost exclusively with the coach.

              Prior to starting school if a coach quits or is fired, the NLI should be void.

              I used to be on the other side of this, but I'm starting to see it differently.

                Yes, parents sign as well. There was a recruit a few years ago that wanted to go to Auburn (I think) but a parent wouldn’t sign the LOI.

                  I am inclined to agree with this, actually. If not "void" then some other kind of "no-fault escape clause" in the text of the NLI.

                    I couldn't find the story, but there was a basketball recruit that early enrolled at Ohio State right before they canned Thad Motta. I don't think the kid even had a chance to go to class before the firing, but the NCAA says he has to lose a year of play because he was "in school"

                      Wasn't there something with Jill Young when she transferred? I don't remember the details but school started or something like that when she transferred.

                        Just out of curiosity how does it work when someone who joins a military branch when they are 18? If they change their mind what's the recourse? Just wondering how that is. I know its oranges to kumquats comparison.

                          Depends on when they change their mind -- if you wash out at bootcamp, it's not as detrimental as if you separate after a bonus has been paid, which typically obligates the recipient to fulfill some term of service, even if not the entire enlistment. Failure to fulfill that term would result in the government collecting at least a portion of the bonus. Not to mention possible stigmatization if the person receives dishonorable, bad conduct, etc. discharge, which can result in them being ineligible for VA services/benefits

                            It looks like you can, in fact get out of it.

                              Thanks, wasn't sure how that worked but figured since its a contract there would be some challenges to it.

                                Not to mention that the coaches can collude with the school to keep the kid from gaining admission if they change their mind about the kid
