Do
You Know All You Need to About the NCAA National Letter of Intent
The
initial signing date for the NCAA National Letter of Intent is
quickly approaching. The one-week signing period begins Wednesday,
November 11. This signing period applies to Division I and II
baseball programs and many other Division I and II sports.
Here’s
one of the questions we often receive prior to Signing Day:
What
exactly am I signing when I sign the National Letter of Intent?
You’re
signing a commitment to attend that university for one full academic
year in exchange for an athletic scholarship. The National Letter of
Intent must be accompanied by an athletic scholarship agreement from
the college that is recruiting you, and you’ll also be signing that
scholarship agreement.
Other
questions we are frequently asked include:
-
Can
I sign a National Letter of Intent if I’m not being offered an
athletic scholarship?
-
What
happens if I don’t attend the university that I’ve signed with
for at least one full academic year?
-
Does
a Letter of Intent from a junior college or an NAIA college work the
same way?
