This article discusses the contractual relationship between the student-athlete and the universities that they attend among the more than 1,200 members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), in this case specifically those universities at the Division I level. In fact, when high school athletes are recruited by college coaches and commit to the school on signing-day, they sign a contract with the university known as a National Letter of Intent in exchange for an athletic scholarship, binding the school and the student-athlete to a one to five year contract.Despite the history of the contractual relationship between the student-athlete and the respective NCAA member institutions, it is apparent that the contractual relationship has become a dynamic one. Unless the parties to the agreement are able to adapt accordingly, it is likely that lawyers, judges and the American legal system will be called upon to keep score.
