What is the National Letter of Intent?

· A prospective student athlete agrees to attend the institution full time for one academic year (two semesters or three quarters
· The institution agrees to provide financial aid for one academic year
Penalty for breaking this contract
· Student athletes have to serve one year in residence at the next NLI member institution
· Sit out for one season of competition in all sports
What is Signing Day?
· Signing day is the day you actually sign the NLI
Does every division 1 and 2 athlete sign an NLI?
· Most people will say that every D1 and D2 athlete will sign an NLI, but this is not the case.
· It is not so much about being in a certain division as it is whether or not the school is a member of the NLI program.
· There are 600 schools who participate in the NLI program

· A majority of D2 programs participate in the program
· No D3, NAIA, Prep schools or 2 year colleges participate

Is the NLI binding if the coach leaves the institution?
· Yes, you sign the NLI with the institution, not with the coach
Can a coach rescind an NLI?
· When a school drafts up the NLI, they are committing the agreed upon funds for at least one year and cannot break that commitment, regardless of injury or any other reason
Can a college coach be present on signing day?
