NCAA approves elimination of national letter of intent program
'The NCAA Division I Council has approved the immediate elimination of the national letter of intent program, the NCAA announced Wednesday, marking a historic shift to the recruiting landscape.
Established in 1964, the NLI program has existed as the formal, binding agreement between prospective athletes and college programs for the past 60 years. The NLI will be replaced by a new financial aid agreement that will provide many of the same core functions as the NLI and will likely be tied to a contract related to an impending revenue-sharing model across college athletics.
Under the new rules, transfer athletes will be allowed to sign with a new school after they've formally entered the portal. Per the NCAA, once a prospect has signed a written offer of athletic aid, other schools will be "prohibited from recruiting communications." '

other schools will be "prohibited from recruiting communications." What about...
when a kid with a program commit contacts other schools on his own?
In other words, the player not the school initiates "recruiting communications.
Just a tiny little loophole the size of the Grand Canyon. Can't imagine anyone exploiting it.

Re: NCAA approves elimination of national letter of intent program
Does this mean on December 4th recruits will be signing a financial aid
agreement rather than a NLI with basically the same restrictions?
Is there a timeline to sign a the financial aide form? This can’t go on forever. Can’t have
Guys tell u they aren’t coming in June
Per the article
'College commissioners opted against a formal vote over the addition of a June high school signing period earlier this year. The early signing period for the 2025 cycle starts Dec. 4, 2024, followed by the traditional signing period beginning Feb. 5, 2025.'
