During a recruit senior year, the ncaa should allow a recruit to sign their LOI at any time. It would let schools know which recruits are serious about a school and not just playing a school against another for more $$

LOIs are already obsolete. Players get out of them already.

https://www.huschblackwell.com/newsandinsights/ncaa-eliminates-national-letter-of-intent-program

quote:

The NCAA adopted legislation that eliminated the 60-year-old National Letter of Intent (NLI) program.


In lieu of the NLI students now sign a financial aid agreement.
quote:

Written offers of athletics aid are still prohibited before August 1 of a prospective student-athlete’s senior year. The signing dates for various sports in Divisions I and II remain unchanged and are codified in NCAA Bylaw Article 13. Note: four-year transfer student-athletes may sign a financial aid agreement at any time, provided their names appear in the Transfer Portal.


And here is another catch.

quote:

The new legislation includes a recruiting prohibition similar to the NLI recruiting ban, which prohibits institutions from communicating with a prospect after they sign an aid agreement, but it does not have the same recruiting deterrent as the NLI. Specifically, per the NLI basic penalty provision, student-athletes could be deemed ineligible for competition if they did not attend the institution with which they signed the NLI, unless they were formally released. New legislation does not include any eligibility repercussions.
