What kind of shite show is about to occur, I guess no one actually stays committed anyway, and in guessing this would make things better for them in the long run, just maybe be a scholarship/financial aid agreement they are now signing.

I mean it is pretty useless. Same as tracking commitments and recruiting rankings.

I think this is making a change without actually changing anything, if that makes sense.

Well, yes and no.
I do think this will drastically change the schedule of recruiting. Early signing day and signing day are key with how recruiting works.
The schedule for financial aid documents is WAY later on the calendar. Recruits have always been allowed to wait and sign financial aid documents. It happens earlier because it can through the NLI and both sides want to "lock in" the scholarship/player.
Having players who can graduate HS early and sign scholarship agreements in January will be an even bigger priority. Otherwise it will be very close to the next season before you can actually fully "sign" a class.

Players could already sign financial documents prior to signing an NIL. THey had to if they were early enrollers

I don't think so, not if we're talking about athletic scholarships. The whole point of the NLI is that it happens earlier than a student-athlete was allowed officially sign a scholarship. Otherwise it would be pointless. There's no reason to sign a letter that you intend to accept a scholarship if you could just... sign the scholarship.
I don't know when the date's are, but I'm pretty sure they're later than signing day.
Most early enrollees would sign the NLI in December and their official athletic scholarships in January shortly before classes start. I'm fairly certain it HAS to happen after high school graduation (which is June in most places if you don't graduate early and just before Christmas if you do)

a prospect who intends to graduate from high school in the middle of an academic year and enroll early at a university may sign a financial-aid agreement on or after Aug. 1 of his senior year.

The whole point of the NLI was to ensure the college upheld their offer. Once signed they could not resend the scholarship unless the athlete did not qualify.

You are also not required to sign the NLI but it provides a safety measure for your scholarship.
It used to be the signing period was not until February hence the original NSD. Why many fans always got worried about EE's. Until the NCAA added the early signing period in December you could only sign in February and EEs were not bound by any agreement to show up for classes the start of the second semester. When the all-star games were big rumors of players changing their commitment were common and since they were not locked into an NLI that worried many.
The advantage for the college in regard to the NLI was once a recruit signed it they could no longer be contacted/recruited.

This only became an option once the early signing period started.
quote:
You are not required to sign an NLI but many prospective student-athletes sign because they want to create certainty in the recruiting process. Specifically, by signing an NLI, you agree to attend the institution for one year in exchange for the institution's promise, in writing, to provide you athletics financial aid for the entire academic year. Simply, by signing an NLI you are given an award including athletics aid for the upcoming academic year provided you are admitted to the institution and you are eligible for athletics aid under NCAA rules. Furthermore, by signing an NLI you effectively end the recruiting process. Once you sign an NLI, a recruiting ban goes into effect and you may no longer be recruited by any other NLI school..
This is the one NLI rule I never understood and still applies today.
quote:
If you are under the age of 21, regardless of marital status, your parent or legal guardian must sign the NLI in order for it to be considered valid. If you are 21 years of age or older, it is not necessary for your parent or legal guardian to sign the document.
