National Letter of Intent (NLI) Signing Day

Signing your Scholarship?

So what is all the talk about signing day? The National Letter of Intent, or NLI Program, is a voluntary program that has been put in place to coordinate a signed agreement between student athlete and a college or university. The NLI states that the student will commit to an institution for at least an academic year, and that in turn, the college or university agrees to provide athletic aid in turn for the same period. Once the letter is singed, the prospective student athlete is "off the streets" and can no longer be contacted by competing schools for recruiting purposes. Different sports have different signing dates, and you can view them here:
