Reply to "NLI offer different than the verbal offer"

NUKE83 is pretty much on target with all of his points.  If an athlete gets a multi-year scholarship agreement from a school with $0 in year one and funds in following years, it could be binding on the school and an athlete's family may be able to get an attorney to enforce it legally, but the coach might say "you're never going to play here, if you want to play, you'll need to transfer elsewhere."  

If a coach wrote a "contract" or agreement for a guaranteed roster spot, an attorney might file an injunction against the university to try to get it enforced, but the NCAA won't have any comment on the matter and there are no rules through the NCAA to enforce such an agreement.
