<p>I'm just starting to talk to colleges now, and I am curious about this. Let's say that I sign a Letter of Intent with College X, and apply on my own merits to College Y (which is a better school). If I am somehow accepted into College Y, would that mean that I couldn't attend even if I was willing to sacrifice playing a sport.</p>
<p>your legally bound to attend X, though I have heard of stories where people break the nloi - though this is rare and under extreme circumstances.</p>
<p>(correct me if im wrong on this)</p>
<p>If you’re willing to drop your sport in all, then yes you can get out of it. If you were going to play your sport at the other school, the school you signed with would have to release you and could set restrictions on where you play (e.x “You can’t go to another Ivy league school” sort of thing).</p>
<p>Not all schools are parties to the NLI agreement. Ivies are not, and I believe it may be true that some Patriot schools are not NLI.</p>
<p>Yea I know, I was just using it as an example. I guess a most applicable example would be a PAC 10 school or Big 10 or ACC, or SEC and so on.</p>
