Can anyone explain the new rule regarding written offers not being able to be given to players until August 1st before their senior year? Does this mean players will not be able to be offered till this date? Or does it mean they will just not be able to be told how much they will be getting? Any information is appreciated.

As LHPMom2012 says, players can still get verbal offers with specific amounts anytime.

A proposal (2010-42) was made in June 2010 to prohibit even verbal offers until July 1st between the junior and senior year, but it was defeatedin Jan 2011. Football didn't like the timing (since it is a fall sport, and women's basketball didn't like it because women tend to mature earlier, and also tend to commit earlier.

Most everybody thought the rule would be effectively unenforceable.

So far, the restriction on written offers only applies to D1.
