I don't understand what eliminating the National Letter of Intent and replacing with 'financial aid/scholarship agreement' does? Sounds like the same thing - but that it will have more teeth than the NLI? Will the date this can happen (~ 2nd week in November of their senior year in HS) - will it be the same? If so, I just don't see what is the wild change. Currently, NLI paperwork and a written offer of financial aid are separate things for some reason. It doesn't make sense to me. If they're simply combining the two it would seem to simplify the process. My guess is this is preparing for these documents to get closer to professional contracts that could be for varying numbers of years or amounts of money. This way, the level of commitment that the NLI confers will have financial details in the same contract. |

I like the 5th year redshirt for VB (I guess Football already has this). Play 5 matches in VB - and could be eligible for redshirt. I'm torn. That article mentions a 30% number to qualify for a redshirt. The weird part is that it only applies to regular season games. So if Texas brings in a stud freshman, she could play in their 9 most significant regular season matches, three matches in the SEC tournament and all six matches in the NCAA tournament and still have four seasons to play. Heck, they could do that with Madi Skinner this year. But for somebody who legitimately isn't making the starting lineup, the rule is great. You can get the player in when you're up (or down) big to get them match experience without blowing a year. |

This may not be relevant, but wanted to mention that I know 30% number applies to obtaining a medical hardship waiver (colloquially known as a "medical redshirt"). You have to have played in 30% or less of the regular season matches, and I believe there is also stipulation that those matched had to occur in the first ____ (half? can't remember) of the season, can't be anything at the end of the season. |

Any system in which players get to choose which team they play for as rookies entering the league (ie, not talking about vets) is an inferior system. That's inmates running the asylum.
This is why American professional leagues are so superior. They require you to go through a draft in order to enter the league. Correct
Major college athletics needs to get to this.

Yup, 49 pages all for nothing. |

You've had almost a week to retract this and haven't. Sports are extracurricular - ancillary and supplementary to the academic mission. You cannot have a kid who wants to study engineering drafted by a school that doesn't have engineering (feel free to submit any major for engineering). No student and no school would suggest this, so where the idea would be proposed let alone supported and adopted is unimaginable. If/when college sports jumps to a full professional model, and it seems like there are some people who want that, it will be just another minor league. |

If the NFL and other leagues can prevent players from being paid with fake "endorsement" deals, then so too shall -- must -- major college athletics.
Otherwise, they're a fraud.
Sorry Wilken, you're wrong there.

You cannot have a kid who wants to study engineering drafted by a school that doesn't have engineering (feel free to submit any major for engineering). This kernel of logic actually works against you more than for you. There is no such thing as a "right" to play college sports. Nope. You want to go study engineer? Great. Go study engineering. Indeed, that is what you should do as a first priority. Sports is just ancillary and supplemental to that. If you want to play major, then you'll have to sacrifice that. Exactly the same as those who get drafted by the MLB or NHL do when they enter into the minor professional league feeder systems. They don't even go to school at all!
"But ... I want to play major sports AND study engineering! I have that right!" Nope. No you don't. There is no such thing.

This way, the level of commitment that the NLI confers will have financial details in the same contract. NLI is contract to attend/play at signed school with a penLty for failing to do so: it is not monitored by the NCAA or the school but by the conferences who participate: the scholarship comes from the university and includes institution's financial aid officers signature. 2 contracts from different groups having to be files in separate locations |

This should now force schools to address future plans as P5’s and Mid Majors. Specifically, how they intend to move forward with sports other than Football. This will get interesting with the roster limits with upped scholly’s |

It's preliminary approval, final approval coming no earlier than April of 2025. As the article states, there is the possibility of additional legal appeals and extension of the approval process by days, weeks, months, or years.

No lobbying is going to persuade the Power 4 schools to pull Money away from football. |
