I believe kids are able to sign LOIs with both JUCOs and FBS/FCS programs. They're two different athletic organizations so I can see a LOI not being binding. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 So....how can he qualify for a Louisiana Lafayette but not Nebraska? We are both in the same division in football. Quote Link to comment
HS_Coach_C Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 20 minutes ago, QMany said: I was wondering about the rules on this previously, so I did some digging. This is what I found: NLI INFO Quote If I sign an NLI with a Division I institution may I still sign with a Division II institution? The true issue is not whether a school is a Division I or Division II institution but whether an institution is a member of the NLI program. With more than 600 participating institutions, the NLI program is truly national in scope. All Division I institutions, with the exception of the Service Academies and schools in the Ivy League, are members of the program, and most fully-active Division II institutions participate in the program. No Division III institutions, NAIA schools, preparatory school or two year colleges participate in the NLI program. Quote If I sign a letter with a junior college or an NAIA school, may I sign an NLI? Yes. You may sign an NLI if you have already signed a letter with a junior college or an NAIA school. The NLI is a voluntary program with more than 600 participating institutions, all of which are members of either NCAA Division I or II. By entering the NLI program, participating institutions agree to abide by the NLI rules. 1 Quote Link to comment

We are both in the same division in football. It's likely that 1) he is not yet fully qualified but they are taking a chance on him 2) they still have lower admission standards than Nebraska --- Wisconsin is in the same division and they have much higher standards to get in 3) Nebraska used that as an excuse and just moved on I'll bet on the first one, with an outside shot at the 2nd one 1 Quote Link to comment

However, I always thought his qualifications were NCAA based which would nullify at least #2 if not all three. Quote Link to comment

LumberJackSker Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Doesn't the big10 have higher admission standards than just those set by the ncaa? I thought i remembered that being brought up when Nebraska switched over from the big12. Like the ncaa says a 2.5 gpa and the big10 says you have to have a 2.7. Quote Link to comment

Nebraska used to take Prop. 48 players. So, UNL would be able to enroll players that were below the NCAA requiriements for eligibility. Edited March 8, 2018 by yort2000 Quote Link to comment

OmahaPlaya Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Here's something to chew on regarding this issue that happened at Wisconsin a few years ago and was the reason why Gary Anderson left. https://www.foxsports.com/wisconsin/story/temple-academic-admissions-an-issue-at-wisconsin-but-andersen-should-have-known-better-121114 Quote Link to comment

Some students that come in as Freshmen, wouldn't qualify as an athlete. Quote Link to comment
