NCAA replaces natl. letter of intent for recruits
The NCAA Division I Council has approved the immediate elimination of the national letter of intent program, marking a historic shift to the recruiting landscape.
Under the new rules, transfer athletes will be allowed to sign with a new school after they've formally entered the portal. Per the NCAA, once a prospect has signed a written offer of athletic aid, other schools will be "prohibited from recruiting communications."
