All the more reason to have a backup plan if you're counting on athletic money to complete your college education. You never know what might happen, by choice or not.

The reforms you are referring to are “add on” that are in addition to the terms and conditions of the NLI. The NLI is a non enforceable letter of understanding based on the goodwill of both sides. It’s renewed yearly up to four years. Anyone whose daughter has signed an NLI (incl P5) knows that either party can (and have) walk away from an athletic scholarship/commitment to the college prior to the start of classes. There is no enforceability if the students grades suffer or have character issues between November and when the student reports to school. It’s renewable scholarship until the student or school says it’s not.

Yes technically both side can walk away from the contract. but don't assume many cases as the breaking up comes from students side. As far as I know, majority of the break up usually come from the school. Someone stated earlier, these coaches are no different from youth coaches(some of them are same people). They lie, they only care about themselves. There is no moral. As soon as these coaches find out the player they like more after NLI or verbal commitment or whatever, boom, they tell committed players "I am sorry, I cannot accept you because of your grade, and your character. It is not my fault, your fault."
If a coach pulls that often enough people hear about it and avoid him. If a coach does it it's a bit of a blessing to find out now. He's not the kind if coach you want to play for.

To much of the focus is on Divisions and Conferences. The RIGHT school for your Daughter is what matters most. There are great D3 schools. In fact merit scholarships and a chance to play for 4 years sometimes outweighs what the Power 5 schools have to offer. The end game is the education. The game is a foot in the door.

Again, another falsehood, college coaches do not conduct themselves like club coaches. College coaches answer to the AD. It’s the cub mentality of some parents and players that have not changed or grew up which is the problem.

Your wrong. I have known students who have signed the NLI in November tell Coaches in April they changed their mind, no problem. My daughters NLI said nothing about being a binding legal agreement. She fully understood she had to maintain her grades and GPA. Show me a court case where a college was held libel for breaking an NLI.

You must not be familiar with contracts. A contract is a legally binding document. The NLI is a contract. Like most contracts the NLI includes the terms of the deal and gives both parties the ability to exit and the terms of the exit. Seems to be some confusion about what a contract is. Like any contract if one party is willing to let the other party out, they can do that. That happens in this situation for a number of reasons.
