Pretty sure once you sign that LOI you have to sit out a year before playing at another D1 school unless there is some crazy hardship where the ncaa will give you a waiver. I'm not sure that getting kicked out changes that.
Didn't Seantrel Henderson sign with USC and then get released and was able to play at Miami that year? Now, I don't know if getting kicked off them team is that same as being released from your LOI, especially since he had already enrolled, but I do think you can play immediately at another school after signing a LOI if you are released.
That was different because of SC's sanctions. Freshmen and Sophomores were given free releases.
According to one of the articles I linked above, it said the NCAA overlords only allow juniors and seniors to transfer without penalty if a school is put on probation.
Yeah, pretty sure it was Lane and the AD that ok'd the release, not the NCAA.
That's how I remember it. It was a university decision.
