This is not a new rule...it started before last year's cycle. Players can sign their financial aid paperwork that basically guarantees them a spot and a scholarship. The catch is that they can sign one of these with more than one school. Schools are required to uphold this agreement but the player can back out if he wants.

It's kind of an insurance policy for the kids. They sign a financial aid agreement with the school, so the school has to honor their scholly and can't try to greyshirt them. It's non-binding for the player, but binding for the school. No player has broken the deal yet that I know of, so it essentially means they've signed.
