Reply to "NLI offer different than the verbal offer"

I agree with everything that NUKE83 said and will add one clarifying point. His example would also hold true for a Division I school that is not a Power 5 school if they offered the same official multi-year scholarship.

The key difference is the period of time for which the scholarship offer is written. Using NCAA terminology, the "period of the award" is just one year for a one-year scholarship offer, but is 4 or 5 years for a multi-year scholarship offer that's written for that period of time.

Power 5 schools are not allowed to reduce a scholarship for athletic performance reasons "AFTER the period of the award." Schools that are not in the Power 5 CAN reduce or not renew a scholarship for athletic reasons "after the period of the award." However, if they do, they are required to offer the athlete an opportunity to appeal the scholarship reduction or non-renewal.
