Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 2808812, member: 5823"] My apologies. I was on vacation last week on One Happy Island. Q: What constitutes an offer? A: A scholarship offer can take the format of phone call (least formal), face to face conversation, or at the most a formal letter on Official School stationery. Regardless of format, an offer is not legally binding to either party until the signing of a National Letter of Intent for all NCAA institutions with the exception of the Ivy League Schools and the Service Academies. Typically an offer covers tuition, room & board, & meals and is renewable each years at the schools discretion. There has been much recent discussion about stipends and some conferences have looked into making scholarships for more than 1 years but generally stipend-less and 1 year renewable are the NCAA norm. Q:How is an offer withdrawn? Verbally? In writing? The format of the outbound offer determines how the offer can be withdrawn. If the school bothered to send a letter (not sure if by practice or by law) it must send a letter withdrawing the offer. A couple of notable cases in litigation involving football players who received offer letters and the school did not send a letter withdrawing the offer. Q: Is there precedence for this international bonding process leading to core members choosing the same college? A: Yes. In 2010 Breanna Stewart, Morgan Tuck, Kaleena Mosqeuda-Lewis played on the same USA basketball team U17? in France? BTW Jewell Loyd was on that team also so let's consider her the one that got away. Q: Can a player under the age of 18 commit to a school without the blessing/signature of her parent(s)? A: I don't know. The general practice is for the parents to sign a NLI. Both of my girls were 18 when I signed with them. [/QUOTE]
