Iowa & Wiscy tapping Glenville

Iowa & Wisconsin have both made significant inroads into Glenville over the last couple years, granted they are guys that we didn't offer, I think they are solid recruits nonetheless, and they now each have a few Tarblooders on their rosters which can certainly help them in the future.

Clemson gains Markish Jones in ruling

Clemson has gained Super Prospect receiver Markish Jones of Spartanburg-Broome, SC., over Florida State. Jones had signed with Clemson on Feb. 7, but had not faxed in his letter-of-intent. He then signed with Florida State and faxed it to the Seminole football office. However, the National Letter of Intent service has ruled that since he and his mother had signed the Clemson document first, that the Clemson letter was binding.

An interesting recruiting scenario. Funny things happen all over. Well, maybe not so funny, if you're Florida State. :wink2:

So why do recruits have even fax them in then, if they are "binding" once you put pen to paper? If I write a check for $20 to my neighbor's kid to cut my lawn this weekend, and then change my mind to mow it myself and thus not give him the check, I'm still liable to the kid for $20? Un, no...

Mili -you may find the rules too tight, but the NLI requirements are pretty clearly spelled out, and Clemson, FSU and (one hopes) the mother and athlete here affected all can read and understand that once you sign, school and athlete are mutually committed.
What you ask for (I think) is that the NLI only apply after the copy has been returned to the institution. (Which position has logical merit). But, that is not how the rules read, it is only the John Hancocks of parent/guardian and student that are required, nothing more.

Contracts are binding...

You are right on one hand. The contract is binding upon signing. Oral Contracts are binding with offer, acceptance and an exchange for most contracts. Although it's likely these contracts have to be in writing, proof is really the problem. We all know kids are ephemeral. A signed copy like a FAX goes a long way toward proof of a binding contract rather than he said, she said.... With something like a deed, you need to sign it and deliver it. Other contracts do not have that formality without express terms stating that's the case.

If you told the kid you would pay him to cut the lawn on Saturday, and he detrimentally relied on this offer, like refused other jobs, made reasonable expenditures in anticipation; he may be able to collect based on detrimental reliance even though you mowed the lawn. Liberal places like Hawaii and California are more likely to enforce such scenarios. So watch out bra! You shoulda East Side Grill instead na?
