Under the new rules, the minimum NLI offer is 25%. So there was a real financial commitment made from the program to the players.
I agree that playing time for any freshman is a real question mark - but that is really not the point here.
This program had these students reject all of their other college admissions, attend orientation, register for classes, sign up for housing, and now, with classes starting August 15th, they have said don't bother coming.
This is not about playing time at a top program - this about a program behaving in an unethical and potentially illegal manner.
I can see a coach missing the 35 player limit by a player or two - but according to this thread it is multiple players - and according to the other thread potentially 10 or more players. That is not missing the mark - that is not caring about the limit or the players at all.
