One question that I have that hopefully you guys can help me with is whether sites like Rivals or TOS distinguish between a commitable offer and a non-commitable offer?
The reason I ask is I'm a lawyer, so there's that, but in law once an offer is extended it can only be destroyed once it is either, accepted, declined, or rescinded prior to acceptance or declination. Once an offer is accepted, as long as there is valid consideration [something exchanged between the two parties; i.e. (Power_T) $18.75 for a bada$$ polo, (UT Bookstore) bada$$ polo for Power_T's $18.75] a contract is created. Clearly, no contract is created in CFB recruiting until the prospect signs his LOI and enrolls (their consideration in this scenario). As an aside, I'm also sure the NCAA wouldn't want these being characterized as contracts anyway, but that's another story.
Main question: when you look at the offers a kid has on various sites, are all "commitable" offers or is there no way to tell because it's the prerogative of the school who is offering? Thx
