NIL Commit Ques

[Gmannewt]

May have already been asked, can't find it. But we know verbally to a college can be changed until they actually sign. But nowadays is a verbal tied to any sort of NIL contract that basically makes their verbal set until signing day?

Bound by a written contract? The NCAA would actually have something to say about it. Most assume they can’t enforce against pay to play, but if there is something in writing that says “You only get paid if you play” and it is before they even sign the LOI there could be trouble for the school involved like bowl bans and scholarship limits.

Couldn’t type out “tion”?

The school isn’t involved in the NIL. What happens between the athlete and the other side of the contract isn’t about signing day. The athlete can sign the contract whenever the parties agree to terms. The terms have most of the things in your head built into them and some you’ve never considered too.

Not really. Not in an NCAA-enforceable fashion.

A kid may feel compelled to honor the verbal by not wanting to lose the NIL money, but that's more of a personal choice and is not required by contractual terminology.

All makes sense. Thanks
