    Yeah it's crazy, like w/these WR'S from these smalls schools like ECU and Miami of Ohio that we were evaluating but they signed elsewhere, posters started roasting CBN claiming " he can't win recruiting battles with Iowa state" yet had we signed them, those posters would have called him sun belt Billy, or 3 star U or some dumb shit because he could only get those guys and not 5 stars.

    Damned if you do , damned if you don't

    A huge bag, reeking of moldy, over-priced sneakers and filthy lucre. The wave of the future. Yay.

    It had to do with being enrolled, not practicing. If you’re enrolled, you’re a student at that school. You have to transfer to switch schools. You can’t practice if you’re not enrolled, but practice isn’t the qualifier.

    Being that they don’t sign an loi anymore, I’m not sure what he needs to be released from. They sign financial aid paperwork which binds the school, but not the athlete. I don’t think the athletes sign anything binding anymore. If they’re enrolled, they would have to transfer and so would any other student. If they’re not enrolled, then I’m not aware of anything else that’s binding on the athletes side.

    You get unlimited transfers now anyway so it really doesn’t matter. He’s gonna end up here either way.

    Why wouldn't a financial aid agreement not be binding on both parties? I've written and enforced contracts my whole career, and, I know you can put just about anything (legal) that you want in them as long as both parties sign. What's in these agreements today seem to be as much an unknown quantity (to the public) as anything else relating to NCAA practices these days. So, who knows what exactly they're being released from... Duck Jail?

    Not sure what would bind him to Oregon on that front either as the law and ncca regs don't allow it to tie him to the school. The only contract we've (or at least I've) seen based the payments on the athlete's location, but the guy just didn't get paid anymore if he didn't live where he was supposed to. He didn't owe anyone anything if he left or never showed up.

    It just never has been. They traditionally signed an loi which bound both parties and financial aid paperwork which only bound the school. If the athlete was released from his loi, left, and went to another school, the financial aid paperwork still made the kid a counter for that year's class for the school he was leaving. If he was released from his loi before he enrolled, it didn't count as a transfer on his side though. He was just a normal hs recruit again to the second school. He counted on both teams counters numbers though. We don't have counters rules anymore so that part isn't really important to either side anymore.

    The loi's themselves became non-binding over the last decade because the schools stopped enforcing their side of it. If a kid requested a release, he got released. I don't recall any situation where the school fought it. That was the only binding part for the athlete before, so now that they've done away with it and didn't replace it with anything else, I don't see what would be binding at all on the athletes side anymore.

    Oh yeah VB3 is going to be a problem. I like him and Montgomery a lot. If things shake out we will end up with an elite WR room. I would love to see our passing updated to utilize all these guys.

    I wouldn't give anyone a dime until they showed up where they were supposed to be. We can sign paperwork before you get here, but you're not getting a check until you do.
