Have seen recently a bunch of 2020 D1 verbal commitments announced on social media.
What exactly does that mean - have they been offered athletic as well as academic scholarships or are they only promised a spot on the roster and the financials will come later? If they are being offered athletic and academic monies wouldn't they need to have taken the SAT/ACT and submitted FAFSA?
I am just wondering what is included in these verbal commitments.Is it just a handshake where the coach says we'd love to have you be part of the team and the player/family says ok or do they spell out a much more specific offer.
Thanks!
