I agree with what pabaseball has said. Coaches cannot release you from their commitment. And technically one can't speak to other programs without a release.
This happens and it's unfortunate. I would move on, there too many opportunities here in FL to not try.
While I understand you wish to know the program, understand there are sometimes two sides to every story. Speaking badly about a program on a message board hurts the player more than the program.
Sometimes a poor performance by the program means drastic changes to the players coming in, or the program has over recruited and now the AD is on their cases.
I am curious about the remark 100%. Was that in academic money or in athletic money?
