I think that commitment video is outdated. Don't believe it is real time.

@ellitor @Barnacle From a contract law perspective, E's statement may or may not be true. It's certainly true from an NCAA rules standpoint. As for the offer/acceptance deal, if they communicated to him that the offer was contingent, it's not an offer at all. Even if he signs paperwork, it wouldn't be binding (unless there's an integration clause... the thing that says this document is the entire contract and nothing outside of it will be considered... then, you'd have a question whether oral representations would be included). Bottom line, if they said something to him before he signed, they're almost certainly in the clear from a contract law perspective.

And people are saying he committed to Alabama as a result. Looks like someone at BR may have messed up.

Never heard of anyone applying contract law to these scenarios. NCAA  has their own special rules for this.

Thanks. It just surprises me that these NLIs have to be certified, and aren't legally binding once the letter is sent in, absent some communication to the student that the offer may not be valid.

There's your problem.

[mcgufcm 4,101]

@thaitopher Totally agree. I was just answering the question!

I'm not even sure how you would articulate contract damages if you're able to sign with another institution. I mean, are we going to use the value of a roster spot at School X versus the value of the same spot at School Y? Are we going to calculate the value of improper benefits from the REC that you now have to forego? I don't see how you could ever bring a claim even if there was a breach of contract.

[thaitopher 807]

Maybe he did commit to Bama. Who knows WTF is happening anymore.

haha, that's a good point - I have no clue how that would be possible. Anyway, just sparked my curiosity.

Happens every year - kids are pushed out, eliminated, processed, humiliated on signing day (parks and philon) but the kids just keep on going there. Players and HS coaches do not care. Whatever... you make a deal with the devil and you will pay the piper...

Parks is now being interviewed for  analyst position and will play football when the need comes.

So since he's not in Rivals yet, let's talk about the chances of somehow landing him. Completely understand that they are slim, but if AU pushes, he's certainly got a way to get some payback.
