Early LOI signing
So after reading the forum post about the WVU commits I went to their commit list on rivals and noticed some players had signed letter of intents already. Is the no early signing period up to individual conferences to allow, because I figured something like that would be NCAA wide to create a more level laying field.

No. NCAA rules do not allow high schoolers to sign until february. Junior College players, however, have an earlier signing day.

that makes sense. i went to auburn's also and they have around 5 or so. one of them is cameron newton, and since my gf graduated from UF, I know all about him and his trip to the JC

here is a suggestion to brian. lets put a way to comment to the poster when we up vote or neg bang someone, and make it so only the poster of the original comment can see by looking at his mgpoints on the side since putting them on the comment page would take up to much space. that way i can figure out why i got neg banged. was it because somebody doesn't like me? or maybe they don't like UF. it could possibly be that they don't like my gf (my vote)

They probably just miss Tubby's and don't care for Potbelly's/Jimmy John's whichever place you work at. Or they remember your posts calling out all citizens of Ann Arbor and think you're a douchenozzle.
FWIW - I only negged your post whining about getting negged, not your others.

I negged you for negging someone for openly wondering why he got negged.
I didn't interpret that as him whining about getting negged. I wouldn't mind taking the anonymity out of the votes myself.

I myself autoneg any post that deals with points. Therefore I will be negging this post of mine as well.

Early enrollees sign their LOI when they enroll for classes. That is a problem right now for Kyle Prater who was supposed to be on a flight to LA to start classes on Monday. With Pete Carroll leaving the kid is getting the ultimate shaft job. Unless he is already accepted at other schools his EE dream is gone unless he is going to stick his neck out and hope SC gets a coach and staff that he likes.

My bed back in undergrad used to be called the level laying field. It had a sign and everything.
January 9th, 2010 at 5:11 PM ^
Maybe they are early enrollments?
January 9th, 2010 at 5:14 PM ^
EEs sign a different "LOI", it has the same implications but is not the same document. Whomever you saw as signed is probably an EE.
January 9th, 2010 at 5:15 PM ^
I would assume it would be early enrollment, guys who are already a done deal without being able to sign yet
January 9th, 2010 at 5:23 PM ^
on florida's commit list on rivals they have the same thing with the 'signed LOI' thing but the players listed are definitely high school players(like josh shaw), so my guess is its early enrollment

An early enrollee is not permitted to sign a NLOI. From the National Letter of Intent website:
"May a midyear enrollee sign a National Letter of Intent?"
"No. Under the terms of the National Letter of Intent program, a written award of athletics aid for the entire academic year must accompany a National Letter of Intent. Accordingly, the National Letter of Intent program does not allow for prospective student-athletes enrolling at midyear to sign a National Letter of Intent. The National Letter of Intent program has created an exception to this general rule for midyear junior college transfer students in the sport of football. A midyear junior college transfer student in the sport of football may sign a National Letter of Intent during the designated signing period."
