Letter of intent in college athletics is faulty
Posted Aug 9, 2010
Across the country, thousands of athletic recruits only months removed from their high school graduations are arriving on college campuses to begin practice for fall sports like football and women's soccer. More than a few of those new athletes will be met on campus by new coaches, the people who fought so hard for the signature on their National Letter of Intent having left for a better job or been fired by the school. The new coaches may not want them, may not even like them, but there's no way out for the students.
