The NCAA officially moved to remove the National Letter of Intent on Wednesday.
This move, which had been in the fold for some time, will be effective immediately according to the NCAA.
“DI Council approves transition of National Letter of Intent program into NCAA signing and recruiting rules, effective immediately,” they said in a post on X.

Considering the rapid changes in college sports, the move away from NLI is indeed for the best. It’s apparent that the next version will likely appear more like a contract more than anything, especially with how much money is flowing towards student-athletes now.
In general, it’s another move to help shake up the NCAA and their way of doing business. It’s growing clear that mos, if not all of their archaic ways of business are either eliminated or on the verge of elimination. Next up may be the entire recruiting calendar. The transfer portal window shrunk after a ruling went through on Tuesday. It went down from a 45-day window to a 30-day window. That move was the precursor to this seismic maneuver, so who knows what’s to come next?
