an interesting situation, you'd think they could just come in based on their original LOI and not take up new slots, but that LOI is rendered null and void if they don't qualify. However, a player doesn't have to sign an LOI. This is one way schools could get around the LOI issue with EE's, as long as they have room to back-count initial qualifiers. Of course you lose the protections the LOI provides.

As MOT pointed out, EEs don't sign LOIs, but they count. It's important not look at this like a lawyer looking for loopholes.

Bottom line-an 18 year old kid had his CHOICE of swallowing his pride, paying a semester and then joining the LSU team of his dreams or going to a great TCU program on a full ride from DAY ONE.Either way HE WINS.

When I turned 18 and started LSU, I moved out to Gardere, my evil step mother converted my childhood room to her closet, the bitch gave away the family dog, and I never went back.

Looks like Tevin wins, and more power to him.

looking at the bylaws, they do state that the 25 limit is LOI's and financial aid offers. However, according to this clause, it does appear that any players who can count back against initial counters for the current academic year are not included in the 25 limit...

quote:

13.9.1.1 Signing Limit Exception. A prospective student-athlete who signs a National Letter of Intent, Conference
financial aid agreement and/or institutional offer of athletics financial aid and is included in the certifying
institution’s initial counter limits for the current academic year is not subject to the institution’s annual signing limit.
[Adopted 6/3/11; effective August 1, 2011]
