then they should do away with verbal commits.
you should be able to sign at any time. Signing day is nothing more than a media sensation. Allow a 15 day cool off where the player can decommit for any reason. Allow an opt out if the team changes the head coach after the signed commitment. Make offers committable and school has to honor offer or have it revoked before acceptance. No more 500 offers from schools.

I’m guessing you’d see far less offers if they were all committable and binding. Would be a good thing in my opinion.

This would be wonderful. And that’s why it will never happen.

Well, regular students can "opt out" right up to the day classes start... they just have to pay a deposit or two to secure a spot.

I understand that scholarship athletes are getting a free ride, but they can also transfer out very easily, so how penal can you really be when guys de-commit?
