@TPM posted:Thanks for the clarification, but they should not have to give up their scholarship. And it's more shameful that they felt that they may have been treated unfairly if they showed up.
It is illegal to take away an incoming players NLI and probably should be made illegal for them to ask.
It's bad because it gives coaches a bad rap. Even the ones who do it the right way.
I agree it should be illegal to ask them to unsign themselves. Hard to say how he would have been treated if he kept the money and showed up to try to get on the team, but in an 18yos mind, the power is for sure not in his hands in that situation. That's exactly why it should be illegal to ask them to unsign themselves. The SAs literally have no recourse, no leverage, and no power.
